Bowen’s disease is a common superficial cancer which occurs on the upper layer of the skin (the epidermis). It appears most commonly as a slow-growing, persistent red scaly patch on areas of skin exposed to the sun.

The following treatments may be used to treat Bowen’s disease:

- Surgery including Mohs micrographic surgery

- Curettage and Electrocautery

- Cryotherapy or liquid nitrogen

- Topical chemotherapy, such as5-Fluorouracil (Efudix), Imiquimod (Aldara) and Ingenol mebutate (Picato)

- Photodynamic therapy (PDT)

- Radiotherapy

Bowen's Disease doesn't go away when you treat it with a cortisone or antifungal cream.

If Bowen’s disease is not treated, a small percentage may develop into an invasive skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Individuals who have been diagnosed with Bowen’s disease should aim to protect their skin from further sun damage.
