Cannot decide SRT or Mohs

Have basil cell on my nose. first a tiny pimple, then bleed, now flat. had biopsy and dr suggested SRT or Mohs. If I do SRT I do not want my skin to discolor and having to use makeup. I have fair skin. Mohs I don't fear but worry if deep then scarring. Cannot decide. I am 73 no health issues just type 2 diabetic. Leaning on SRT but need to how those that took this approach healed.
