Asked By:CameronHamill in Australia, AU

Biopsy confirmed combination BCC & SCC. I'm not sure precisely what sub-type it is. My Derm said it's quite Superficial at this stage and has penetrated to a depth of approx 1mm. Told it's 5 out of 10 (10 most severe). Derm recom. surgical excision. Was told MOHS surgery is not really indicated. He is trained and well qualified in MOHS. MOHS would be better than standard excision in terms of scarring & cure rate? Derm doesn't think MOHS is necessary. What surgery should I choose please?
