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?
I had Mohs surgery near the corner of my eye for basal cell lesion 9 days ago. The nurse took stitches yesterday. She warned that if I rubbed it too much, the skin might come of. That got my attention! I've been VERY careful but I was washing my face this morning with just my hands as gently as possible and avoiding getting near my eye. I felt a bit of pain and looked in the mirror. The front edge of the graft is split 4-5 mm and I can see down into it. It looks grayish. Should I worry?
Grafts can be tricky, but nature has a great way of healing wounds. It is possible that the wound will still end up healing well, but it is important to show your concern to your surgeon.
2 weeks ago I had mohs..on nose..skin graft fell off to day -appears to be healing with big cavity ...is this correct or do I need to contact MD sooner that apt next week?
The best advice is to call your surgeon. Sometimes grafts may look poor - but actually still be viable. Other times they can fail or even fall off. Either way, your doctor will be able to help you determine what happened and the best course of action at this time.
