The foot and ankle take much longer to heal than other locations. I suggest seeing your dermatologist for advice on wound care. Best, Dr. Emer.
The feet and lower legs take longer to heal, expect it to be 6 weeks to several months to fully recover.
Recovery from Mohs surgery depends on the site the Mohs surgeon operated on. Unfortunately, the leg and foot are the area of the body that take the longest to recover. Depending on your age, health status, and what type of reconstruction was done, the recovery time can be anywhere from 2 weeks to up to a few months post surgery.
Hydrogen peroxide has not been shown to help wounds heal. If you still have a wound 3.5 weeks after mohs my suggestion is to see your surgeon for reevaluation to ensure this is healing and you do not develop a scar. Best, Dr. Emer.
You can consider filler injection in the left upper eyelid/brow to improve the asymmetry since the left side is more hollow/sunken.
