Mid July 2018 I had MOS Surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma fron the skin next to my nose. The surgeon said all the cancer was removed & stitched the site nicely. It's been 4.5 months & the surgery site has a pin dot sized hole. It has a white, round bead in it. If it were a zit, I'd think it's the white core, but it's not a zit. It's a tiny hole. I mainly notice when I'm using my magnifying mirror. The hole seems oily or wet. It doesn't weep, however. Should I be concerned?
Mohs Surgery BCC on forehead end of January. Told surgeon would provide scar help if needed. 4 months post op, waited 6 weeks for appt today... told looks good by assistant, and they only address scar after a year. Said they could hardly see scar, and doctor would not be seeing me today. Told In January I could resume Botox, So I went to their office for Botox 6 weeks ago, and it did not work. Dont know if my forehead will ever be smooth again, no revision/ help offered, and Botox didnt work.
I had a melanoma mole removed 4 months ago on my lower leg. I had a skin graft done has quite a pic chunk was taken out of my leg. The graft has taken and is healing quite well. My question is Should I continue to cover it with a sterile guaze or is it OK to leave it uncovered
Since its been about 4 months since I had surgery on my upper right chest would it be ok to use a heating pad over the incision? A nurse at the office said to massage the area for 5 mins. What would you recommend?
4 months ago I had a sebaceous nevus under my eye, that had turned into skin cancer. I had mohs surgery followed by a skin graft on my face. It's been about 4 months, and the skin graft is still very red, and it almost looks irritated. The skin and the area around where the stitches have been removed are both very thick and noticeable. Is this normal? Will it go away? I've been using silicone sheets as well as scar cream, and there seems to be no improvement.
