I’m glad it’s getting easier, @Roddles. I can completely understand being anxious to see some progress after 17 days. Luckily it sounds like it just needed a little more time. Enjoy your overseas adventure! – Nina, SkinCancer.net Team

I finally had my follow-up appointment with the dermatologist and she was very happy with my results (and the many photos I took). There was a small amount of slightly rough skin on one side of my nose which her intern sprayed lightly with liquid nitrogen. Next appointment in 6 months; she anticipates just having to spray a couple of places a…

I am so sorry you had to go through all that! I am happy to hear you didn’t have too much pain. I am so happy to hear you are so positive. You may have less nose, but you are still here! Keep being positive and may you have no more BCC.
