First Experience with Skin Cancer
I was just diagnosed with BCC. I had a small growth on the end of my nose and my dermatologist removed and had it biopsied. Then I had the Mohs surgery done a week ago. Took a lot of my nose. Had to go through 5 layers before they got it all. I’m hoping and praying it heals. A scar I was expecting, but not this. They didn’t mention plastic surgery at the time. Is this something they will discuss after it heals up?
I hope your recovery and healing goes well. I want to share some information on plastic surgery should you need it https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/surgery-options-for-skin-cancer-scars. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled, you could possibly discuss options then or reach out through a patient portal if that’s available. Please let us know how you’re doing. Sending well wishes, Julie (team member) I hope your scar is healing! I just had Moh’s in September and the scar is better. I started using scar pads after a couple of weeks every night. I can cover with makeup and it’s not noticeable if I wear glasses. My scar was much bigger than I thought it would be too. My face looked uneven for a while but is better now.
