My concern is the lump on my nose above the skin flap. Is it still going to flatten? I know it's too early to tell but I want to know what I can do or can be done. Photo taken 5 weeks after surgery. Is my skin flap healing well? Thank you for your help.
Basel cell surgery 11/16/17. Noticed a lump forming between my eyebrows. I went to my surgeon on 1/23/18 & he said it was scar tissue (massaged it everyday). He injected the site with Kenalog..said it would flatten it out. On 2/6 the lump was even bigger. Went back to my dr & he said it was swelling from fluid. It would go down in 2 wks. On 2/18 the lump is even more pronounced. I went to the doctor & he said he would probably need to cut it out! PLEASE HELP I'M SCARED..... NEED EXPERT ADVICE
I had a BCC removed from the side of my nose about a month ago by a plastic surgeon via my local public hospital. Unfortunately, there is a lump that causes my nose to look very asymmetrical and distorted. I feel as if the this lump hasn't changed at all in this time. Is it possible to have a revision? I'm only 21.
Had MOHS laser on nose; flap surgery to repair; have big scars and large lump where flap attached; nose is pulled to one side; left nostril much smaller and I can't think of any procedure that could correct it! Surgery was December 8, 2014--3 months ago. Look like a freak. Wouldn't a skin graft have been better? Is there an alternative to MOHS and the flap repair?
I have had a large reddish limp with blood vessels showing around it for over 3 yrs. Had some type of biopsy done. A lot of pus came out and the pathology report came back stating they found invasive basel cell cancer. My cheek is healing nicely now. Nothing shows on my face now, but a hole and I am wondering if the report can tell how deep the cancer is and should I have another biopsy to see if the cancer is gone scheduled for Mohs in 3 weeks. Do not want to do the procedure if the cancer is gone.
Nine months ago, I had Mohs surgery on my cheek (near my nose) for a very small Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). I developed two lumps from the surgery: one is a dog ear, and the other is a large lump that was caused from tissue being pushed by the surgeon. I was just told that this large lump will "never go away." Is there anything that a plastic surgeon can do to remove or lessen the appearance of this lump? I was never told that this could be a result of this surgery.
I am a 22. A year ago I found something that was similar to a wart but not quite the same. Its a scab & it penetrates deep down. The scab comes & goes. I also have a hard bump on my leg that is slightly darker than my skin & sticks up a little. It has been on my leg for a few years now. I recently found a hard lump on my back by my shoulder blade about the same color as my skin. It feels deep down like a cyst but hard. Anything to be concerned about?
