A full skin graft was used from the front of my ear. I cant get an appointment with my dermatologist until the middle of May. I am concerned the skin graft failed. Also I feel I have fluid in my ear that the skin graft was taken from.
I had mohs procedure on my nose 4 weeks ago. A skin graft from my ear and it is less than 2mm. The scab is hydrated and smaller every day however it is lifting at the edge. Will the scab will eventually fall off? if yes, at what point (5/6 weeks?) would I expect scab to fall off? Do you think I should be alarmed that it is lifting at edge and contact dr?
BCC removed from inside right ear (Mohs) last Tues, dressing removed Thurs, stitches to be removed Tues. Skin graft over the site with a cotton ball (now saturated with blood) covered with antibiotic ointment stitched to hold it in place. Have cleaned dried blood from area. Are adding ointment to keep area covered. Thank you.
I had Basinal cancer removerd from my nose, and a skin graft taken in front of my ears to fill the area where they removed the cancer this procedure was done on a Monday and of friday it was dark black/ blue, i have been keeping it bandage where they performed the repair, and also and keeping it moist with vaseline, should i be concern with the discolor of the graft, or is this normal
Had MOHs surgery today to remove basal cell inside my ear. 42 yr old white male. Most of the inside skin was scraped out. At a glance it was missing so much the skin it was all white. I was told there was cartilage involvement which was scraped also, but the structure remained intact. I initiated a conversation about a graph for repair. He said it would be best healing on its own. He did punch about 9 holes and said this will help the skin fill in the area. Am considering a plastic surgeon. Thoughts?
I had Mohs surgery immediately in front of my ear ten days ago and the scar is the length of my ear. Even though my ear wasn't touched, except for a teeny bit of the lobe, it feels like I have a finger in my ear, and sometimes I ache a lot below/behind my ear. My ear also feels really uncomfortable when I make certain facial movements. Is this normal and how long until the finger goes away?
My GP referred me to dermatology for a biopsy after I pointed out a non-healing sore on top of my ear. It took a month to get in for the biospy and a week to get the results which were basal cell cancer. Now I have a Mohs procedure scheduled but the soonest they could get me in was two months and three weeks out. Is that an acceptable wait time or should I be trying to get in sooner?
I will be having Mohs surgery next week, for two basal cell areas on the right side of my nose. I have fair skin that tends to be reddish on my face (Irish complexion, rosacea) and am concerned that a skin graft from somewhere else won't match. The surgeon said that skin from the inner ear can match the skin on the nose. What have you found to be the case?
