10 days ago I underwent a Mohs surgery for a BCC that was cleared in 3 stages, leaving a half dollar opening that was closed with an A to T Flap repair. It has headed very nice so far and just shows some signs of normal healing redness. Swelling is 90% gone and it's comfortable enough to touch now.
