Can Mohs Surgery Wait a Month After Diagnosis? If my recent biopsy of a very tiny, pimple-like thing on my cheek is basil cell cancer, can I wait 4-5 weeks after the diagnosis for Mohs surgery? I have only had this "pimple" for 1 month. I am getting married in 4-5 weeks and don't want to have this show.

A: Basla Cell Carcinoma is slow growing

I think it would be fine to wait a month for a small Basal Cell Carcinoma. That is the most common type of skin cancer and fortunately it is the easiest to treat/cure. Sunscreen daily and have it treated soon after your wedding and you should be fine. I must say, some other forms of skin cancer are not safe to delay treatment.
