Turns out Melatonin and Vitamin D may be useful in preventing recurrent melanoma formation, and may even have a preventative effect.
This might be most helpful in patients with Parkinson’s disease, who have an increased risk of melanoma, and also in those with a history of excessive sun exposure, other skin cancers, a family history of melanoma, or use of Viagra, which now is suspicious for increasing the incidence of melanoma.
Sunlight is a good source of Vitamin D.
To your health,
