What kind of cancer - skin cancer?

And is she positive it's from the medicine and not from something else - like being out in the sun, for example?

I'm not trying to argue, .i'm just honestly curious.

she found a huge knott on the side of her breast in the exact spot that she was putting the creams at and so dr tested and found out it was indeed from those 2 creams.plus a little boy lost his life from using it and so far there is between 1,000-2,000 cases to date as of now including lawsuits.
