Hi All,

I'm no expert, but just to remind everyone, since EGF has the
potential for upregulating the growth rates of cancer cells, please be
sure to discuss the use of any topical with EGF in it with your
dermatologist before using. At the very least, they should be able
to help you keep a lookout for any signs of potential skin cancer
while you're using it.

Also, I have not read any studies which suggest that rosacea itself
may lead to increases in skin cancer rates, but inflammation has been
implicated in increased rates, and since rosacea involves a chronic
inflammatory response, we should probably be extra careful:

Again, I'm no expert and don't really want to scare anyone. But be
sure to talk this over with your dermatologist before using a product
with EGF in it...
