How Long Does It Normally Take A Mohs Basal Cell Carcinoma On The Leg To Heal After Surgical Removal?

Mohs refers to the procedure that removes the basal cell cancer from your leg.  Several factors will determine how long the healing process takes.  Things such as diabetes, smoking, age, and steroid use can possibly prolong the healing time.  You should ask your surgeon how long they would anticipate the healing to take place.  Good luck. 

First, Mohs is not a type of cancer. It is a procedure that removes cancer. So, what I assume you are asking is how long a BCC that you had on your leg will take to heal after a Mohs surgical procedure to that area? The truth is that it will depend on how big the site was and the type of closure used for it. It can take several weeks because the body (especially extremities) take longer to fully heal than the face or neck. If you have questions at all about how your site is healing or looking, consult with your surgeon about it. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
