polyethylene glycol
Phosphorus burn treatment
stain with 0.5% copper sulfate and surgically remove
Silver sulfadiazine (silvadene)

Imiquimod (Aldara)
immune response enhancer that stimulates host cytokine production and induces apoptosis of tumor cells

often present at birth
10-15% transform to BCC
