Really big splotch of cancer or discoloration?

[Lady Abraxas]

Hi, everypony!

I just cleaned up two ponies I won off eBay and one of them(TE Gingerbread) has both mold and cancer. There's also this dark yellow spot about the size of my thumb with a white center on her back. I'm not sure what it is. I've seen in pictures that mold and cancer are usually circular. It doesn't comes off with acetone either. Anybody know what it is?

If I do end up boiling Gingerbread in Oxiclean, will it be safe for her eyes?

Here's another picture of her and Scoops post-clean-up:

Thanks for reading!

Oxy clean will likely take the iridescent sheen off of her eyes.

Hmm.. the large stain on Ginger could very well be just a stain of some sorts.
Perhaps she was exposed to nicotine/smoke at some point?
Cancer seems to show up in small dark brown spots... and spreads from there.
At least, to my knowledge.

I'm still new at trying to discern mold/cancer from common stains and marks.
It can be very confusing, and I suppose we can only learn over time and through experience exactly what each mark is, and exactly how to remove it.

Good Luck, Honey!
Wish I could've been of more help!

she is very prone to cancer and usually ends up yellow/brown all over, so my guess is on cancer. i've tried sunfading my gingerbread now the last 5 years and she's marginally better. it took away a little of the yellowing, but eh >_<

Thanks for the input, everypony! I'm just going to keep her away from the other ponies for the time being.

Finding a white Gingerbread was like mission impossible for me! I now have one, but, I think she will start going in the future. Mould and regrind drive me bonkers!
