Now this was an interesting tweet in which Ivermectin paste is recommended for the treatment of skin cancer. As he says, the paste is FDA approved for the treatment of Rosacea which is "a chronic skin condition that mainly affects the face, causing redness, flushing, and sometimes acne-like breakouts. It's a common condition, often appearing after middle age, and is more prevalent in fair-skinned individuals. While there's no cure, rosacea can be managed with various treatments and lifestyle changes."
However, the veterinary version referred to as a horse paste is stronger (1.87% versus 1%) and probably cheaper but care needs to be taken with the dosage. I was thinking that this paste could be useful in treating what I referred to as my protuberance (see posts titled An Odd Protuberance and Protuberance Gone). In the end, it went away of its own accord. I also have an area on my back that is quite sensitive and that I usually keep covered with a bandaid. This area might respond favorably to the application of this paste.

Discovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world. Originally introduced as a veterinary drug, it kills a wide range of internal and external parasites in commercial livestock and companion animals. It was quickly discovered to be ideal in combating two of the world’s most devastating and disfiguring diseases which have plagued the world’s poor throughout the tropics for centuries. It is now being used free-of-charge as the sole tool in campaigns to eliminate both diseases globally. It has also been used to successfully overcome several other human diseases and new uses for it are continually being found. This paper looks in depth at the events surrounding ivermectin’s passage from being a huge success in Animal Health into its widespread use in humans, a development which has led many to describe it as a “wonder” drug.
