Skin graft from MOHS surgery keeps growing long dark hair. Is repeated treatment to be expected with this outcome from surgery?

bwelch57
The Dermatologist who did the surgery several months ago has used abrasion a few times and also zapped the whole side of my nose to kill the follicle, but again, another area is still growing long dark hair. I am tired of the pain, embarrassment and having my nose bandaged off and on for months. Is repeated treatment like this to be expected with this outcome from surgery? Is a graph taken from in front of ear wise? Should I be seeking a second opinion since he can't seem to finish the job?
