Is my Mohs wound healing properly or should I be concerned? How much longer can it take to fully heal? (photo)

Moh’s surgery on the face often requires surgical repair and reconstruction to reapproximate the skin edges. Flaps or direct closure techniques are used. It is important that you optimize scar healing during this phase in order to reduce longterm scars. For red scars, we use Vbeam laser, followed by fractional laser for scar topography and contour. We recommend Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily for the immediate postoperative period. Fractional laser is safe for scar laser therapy.
There are treatments for swelling and edema of the scars. If there is residual sutures or edema, we advise you to follow a scar treatment protocol that can minimize the time to recovery. Our office specializes in scar revisions for Moh’s surgery.

Hello, there are many options after the cancer is removed by Mohs surgery in terms of stitching (pulling together with stitches, sliding skin in broken lines, or skin grafting). Healing in naturally also called second intention healing is also a viable option. Its difficult to comment without knowing the exact details of your surgery but things appear to be healing well. I would recommend you followup with your Mohs surgeon if you have concern about the rate of healing.
