Reporting Groups
  Description
Imiquimod Only

Topical imiquimod group:

treat the LM site two centimeters beyond the perimeter margin with topical imiquimod 5% cream Monday thru Friday of each week for a total of twelve weeks. After three months of topical treatment, a one-month wash out period will be observed to allow for resolution of inflammation that can obscure the pathologist’s ability to evaluate the excised tumor/treatment site.

Imiquimod and Tazarotene Combined

Topical imiquimod and topical tazarotene 0.1% cream group:

Patients randomized to this group will undergo an identical treatment protocol as the topical imiquimod group with the addition of topical tazarotene 0.1% cream on Saturday and Sunday of each week.
