Several years ago, I had Mohs surgery to remove a basal cell spot on my scalp. The spot scabs and bleeds on occasion after all this time. My hair stylist notices it, too. The PA said it is common. Is it normal for that spot to still have irritation?
I recently found out I have a superficial basal cell carcinoma on my scalp about 1 inch back from my hairline. It is about 8 mm wide. I am scheduled for Mohs surgery in 2 1/2 weeks and very stressed about it. I am reading that the superficial type has a propensity to spread beyond the visible tumor under the skin. But I don't know, statistically, what that means. Is it highly likely that I will have a much bigger area removed than 8 mm? Or is it 50% chance, 30% chance, or what? TIA
February 2018 I had a basal cell carcinoma removed at the Manchester mohs centre. Recently I have started feeling quite a bit of sensitivity on top of my head beyond the scarline
I had Mohs on my scalp 2 months ago. The surgeon stitched the excision without the need for a skin graft. However I am still totally bald in the place he shaved for the surgery. I thought it would grow back normally but there is no sign of this happening. Is this normal and if so has anyone used scalp dye to make their scalp less obvious? Thanks
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.
I had MOHS surgery 5 days ago on my scalp, right side, slightly behind my hairline. I have slight swelling around my eye/temple on the right side of my head. Is that normal? I've had some headaches, tenderness and overall aches and pains more on a moderate level but otherwise I feel okay. I'm just concerned the swelling 5 days post-op could be concerning and it seem unusual to me that the swelling is near my temple when the surgery was on my scalp.
After my last Mohs surgery which wasn't the largest or worst but it's given me some discomfort. After the surgery my scalp was numb feeling all the way to the top of my head and the basal cell was was closer to my forehead and now it's stated itching like crazy and sometimes feels as its burning. The scar has gotten redder than it was so im wondering what might cause this? I'm due to see my dermatologist in another month. I need some help with trying to find out if this might be normal. Thanks
I have a BCC, small, about bb size area right on top of my head in the part of my hair. I have Mohs surgery scheduled Jan 23rd. Can someone tell me how much hair will be shaved normally? I am a female and while removal of BCC is of upmost importance, I am concerned how I will look if there will be a large hole in the top of my head, and for how long. Like, will it be a all area, or will I need to buy a wig or wear hats for months? Someone please explain this to me, what to expect.
