What Happens to a BCC Left Unremoved? I'm sure that there are a lot of people out there with basal and squamos cell cancers out there. What really happens if they never get them removed?

A: Consequences of untreated skin cancer

Consequences of untreated skin cancer often depends on the type however squamous cell cancer untreated could spread and metastasize with very serious consequences, basal cell, rarely spread, but can be very locally destructive to underlying skin, nerve, muscle and bone. We dont recommend not treating skin cancer.

I Am 49 Years Old. Diagnosed with BCC on Bridge of Nose, What's Best for Least Scarring? Skin cancer specialist advised marginally removing BCC, send me home with a hole in my nose, back next day, if biopsy ok, wound closed like an icecream cone, extending down the side of the nose and zig zag up between the eyes. This allows the skin edges to be drawn together. The plastic surgeon said that he would remove skin from my check and graft it to my nose. I see a dermatologist re MOHS surgery next week. For the least scaring, what's best?

A: Mohs surgery for skin cancer on the nose

The treatment of choice for skin cancer on the nose is Mohs surgery. If you want to minimize scar, this is also best option and have closure by dermatologicsurgeon skilled in reconstructive surgery.

Revision Suggestions After Mohs Surgery Repair I had a BCC removed on my nasal ala with Mohs Surgery 6 months ago. A rhomboid flap was used to repair it. The flap has been raised from the beginning and my nose does not look symmetrical. The crease cannot be seen on the right side because of the elevated flap and there is also a bony protrusion just to the right of the tip that shows as a white bump. A shadow and pulled look shows along the bottom edge of the flap. No cartilage was added when repaired. Please offer suggestions. Thanks.

A: Scar revision

If you are unhappy with the cosmetic result of a surgical reconstruction, you should consult with a plastic surgeon and determine what options you have for revising the reconstruction. The surgeon will need to see you in person to give you the best advice.
