I am having Mohs on my left cheek 1.5 cm and want to try and heal naturally is this ok?
The original healing of Moh's surgery when it was first described was to heal on its own. This requires dressing changes and time and will leave some sort of a scar. Normally, patients want some plastic surgical closure but you can always heal it on your own and do a scar revision if needed.
I was curious to whether or not a RN could perform MOHS surgery if the physician was on site?
I would think it would be inappropriate for any non-MD to be doing a Moh's procedure. I would expect the doctor to be doing it if it were my skin cancer being removed.
My daughter has been diagnosed with DFSP. We've been advised that MOHS surgery may not be appropriate for someone so young, and wide excision may be the best route to follow. The affected area is on her upper torso, and about 2cm in diameter. We're really not sure what to do for the best. Any advice greatly received.
There is nothing about Mohs surgery that mandates that it be done under local anesthesia. Mohs works well for DFSP tumors which have a high local recurrence rate uness they are excised completely. I would advise you to seek care at a medical center in which a Mohs surgeon is on staff - try the dermatology division of an academic medical center. Your child's Mohs procedure and reconstruction could be coordinated under the same anesthetic.
