A member asked:
Can your skin absorb vitamins to cure a tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are no vitamins which can cure cancer, no matter how they are taken. Rubbing them on the skin won't affect deeper tissues and this is no cure for skin cancer. If you have a cancer, see an oncologist and get appropriate treatment.
