Mohs Surgery + Infection Q&A

I had Mohs on the bridge of my nose almost 2 months ago. The surgeon used permanent stitches under the skin. I have had the permanent stitches trimmed once already when they were sticking out from under my skin, but I can see and feel them sticking out again now. Could exposed permanent stitches pose an increased risk of infection? What can I do other than going back to have the ends trimmed off again? Is it common practice to use permanent stitches for Mohs on the nose?

I have a lesion in my lips that doesn't go away since 2012 even when i use the Vaseline and lip balm it comes back is it a sign of lips cancer or infection? Thanks.

Hi, does getting Mohs Surgery on the cheek pose a threat to existing cheek implants? From the looks of Mohs, I would think it makes infection or other complications a high probability .....just wondering if I'm correct here? Thanks

Lower leg biopsy positive for combination basal and squamous carcinoma - biopsy looks infected and Mohs surgery scheduled in 10 days. 

My mobs surgery on my ear has been healing well until yesterday when it turned red on the area where the growth was removed and the redness spread a little to the upper ear.

I had MOHs surgery with bilobed flap on my nose one week ago... It is red and I'm pretty sure it's infected. I'm afraid if he takes them out, the incision will open.

I have had it for 2 months. Started as a boil I though but grew. It is sore and infected. I clean it with alchohol. I have no insurance to see a doctor and need it treated or removed. 47 years old phoenix arizona I had a basil cell on my shoulder removed in 2014 but this looks nothing like it.

Hello, I had a mole shave biopsy done about 11 days ago. Been feeling more pressure when I stand on it the last 24 hours. Also have had slightly more red in the drainage over the past day or two. No smell that I can tell, not hot around the site. No fever. No significant pain when not standing. No significant/noticeable swelling. Thank you
