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

Asked By:bwelch57 in Asbury Park, NJ

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?
