A woman assumed she had eczema on her face but was terrified by the reality.

Honoure Stark, 53, has had skin cancer for ten years and has been using chemotherapy cream on her face.

Although the powerful cream kills cancer cells, it has a long list of unpleasant side effects, including inflammation, itching, weeping, and scabbing.

Honoure has described herself as a “acid attack victim,” and claims that people avoid her because they believe she has a contagious condition.

The Toronto, Ontario, Canada, mother initially spotted a “strange area” on her forehead in 2008, which was scaly in texture.

She said: “I initially mistook it for dry skin or eczema when I first noticed it. There was no colour to it. It was a spherical, oddly shaped lesion that was flaky and bleeding if I exfoliated it.” So after six or eight months, I realized it wasn’t simply dry skin; it was something I should have had checked out by a doctor.”

Honoure says she “didn’t give it the attention it deserved” since she was preoccupied with caring for her four tiny children.

She decided to see a doctor when her forehead grew indented from where her flesh was slowly decaying away.

“It was devouring my skin,” the mother explained.

“I went into her office nervously because I had no experience with skin cancer.” ‘You have cancer,’ she remarked as she peered at my forehead. We need to schedule surgery to have something removed.’

“Her lack of empathy turned me off, and I became upset.” I started crying.” To be honest, I was so taken aback by the diagnosis that I had a hard time remembering anything after she pointed to my forehead and said I had cancer.”

In 2009, Honoure was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, which is a type of skin cancer.

Her “enormous” tumour on her forehead required seven procedures to eradicate.

But Honoure’s journey didn’t end there; for the past 12 years, she has been battling cancer.

A topical chemotherapy cream, which she has been taking since 2012, is one of the most agonizing aspects of her treatment.

Honoure compares it to “pouring acid” on her skin, and she must apply the cream for at least six hours each day.

Her fair skin appears to be “bubbling up” before becoming covered in red scabs as a result of the chemotherapy treatment.

“It appears that I’ve had an acid attack,” she remarked. It gives the impression that I’ve been in a horrible car accident.” It causes the skin to become extremely heated and itching. It’s as if you have a swarm of hot, scorching ants crawling across your skin, yet you can’t touch or scratch them. People have walked away from me. People

People would point at me and wonder whether I had a contagious disease. People would look at her and remark, “Oh my God, what happened to her face?”

Since her diagnosis, Honoure has had to accept the truth that her life will never be the same.

She claims she will never be able to be exposed to direct sunlight again and must be indoors from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Honoure said, “I have the skin of a 70 or 80-year-old lady.”

“I’m particularly sensitive to melanoma and all other skin cancers, not just because I’m a redhead – that’s one reason – but also because I’ve never worn sunscreen.”

My youngsters are protected by sunscreen. However, I did not use any sunscreen. It

. “I didn’t wear a hat or stand under an umbrella, and that’s exactly why I have this much cancer,” she says. “I will have this for the rest of my life, and I find that extremely intimidating.”

Honoure has over 240,000 likes and followers on TikTok because she routinely shares educational TikTok videos regarding skin cancer.

“I want people to understand that modest habits that they may implement into their daily routine can prevent this,” she stated.

So you wear a hat, right? When I see babies outside in the strong sun without a hat on, I think to myself, “That frightens me,” because of what their future may hold.”
