Three months ago I had Mohs surgery for SCC. They bored out a 3/8 diameter hole, and since it was on the top of my head they said it would have to heal naturally as the skin was too tight to suture. They also said it would take 4-6 weeks to heal. The wound began filling and almost reached the surface within 4 weeks and was red on top. I kept applying Aquaphor ointment as directed with a bandage daily. However, no change has occurred for two months now. Been 13 weeks. Any suggestions?
I had Mosh surgery on my scalp 3 months ago. It was healing well but I started notice something spitting from it, maybe a stitch. The area near it is getting a little pink and it hurst when I touched it. Should I use some Vaseline on it? How to prevent scaring ? Any suggestions please. Thanks.
Efudex treatment for graft site. I had Mohs surgery 3 months ago above my right eye for BCC with a skin graft the size of a silver dollar from a donor site on my chest. I also just had a Mohs on my nose for BCC and squam with a flap repair from between my eyes. I will need to use efudex on my face soon. Is it safe to use the efudex on the graft tissue and on the flap repair? Thanks
I had a 4mm wide BCC removed 3 months ago-excised with clean margins, hopefully! Ever since my eye is dry. Saw an opthamologist because it is so severe, tear duct is intact, she feels it's more related to prior LASIK surgery. I don't agree. My eye was one hundred percent normal before. Will it ever get better? I am seeking a second opinion from another opthamologist. My surgeon feels that my tear duct angle may be slightly altered, but he feels my dry eye shouldn't be as bad as it is.
May 6 I had MOHs surgery on my shoulder, going down two layers to get it all. Due to the location, straps, sleeve seams rub right on the wound. I'm in a cycle, the wound has filled in & it tries to scab over, I raise my arm to do anything, the scab cracks, the bra strap or sleeve seam catches & pulls off the scab, and we start all over. Dermatologist said to keep it bandaged, not to let it dry out and scab. The wound is still red, seeping, sore. How does healing occur if it doesn't scab?
