I have a suspected BCC on my eyelid which was wrongly diagnosed as a recurrent infection. It bleeds occasionally. I am seeing a specialist in three days for a biopsy. If it is BCC will have Mohs Surgery and reconstruction. I estimate I might have had this for up to two years. I'm booked to go on holiday for three weeks shortly after the biopsy. Should I go or stay for the biopsy? I understand that can take two weeks anyway. Thanks!
The exact site and size matter. Assuming small biopsy size, you can go on your trip. But note the following: There will be a scab that forms and falls off in about a week. Applying ointment during the healing period may blur your vision if it gets in your eye. Sun protection is advised.
