A member asked:

Does baking soda for skin cancer ulcerate the skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin pH: Baking soda applied to skin can alter the ph and result in irritation, but not usually ulcerate it. If that occurs, it is usually the skin cancer itself causing the damage. It needs to be removed.
