Hi Loosestrife and Steragram, Thank you, much appreciated. I've had 4 cut out, I was thinking more in the line of prevention in case I thought something was about to grow. Stay cool , Coppertops

If you have good reason to be anxious about skin cancer you should see a doctor. If you are concerned about skin cancer but have no signs of it just be sensible don't overdo the sunbathing especially in the middle of the day, & wear a good sun screen. Euphorbia sap can irritate even skin on your hands and arms, never mind your face.

I expect Coppertops is trying to avoid the need for having more growths removed at a later date...

How daft can you get - I read the 4 cut out as 4 euphorbias cut and ready for planting! You wouldn't believe it would you....
But all the same the advice not to use the euphorbia still stands.

I'd reiterate the advice given in your other question - do not use the sap on your skin, it is highly irritant and in some people will cause a serious allergic reaction.
