I had mohs procedure on my nose 4 weeks ago. A skin graft from my ear and it is less than 2mm. The scab is hydrated and smaller every day however it is lifting at the edge. Will the scab will eventually fall off? if yes, at what point (5/6 weeks?) would I expect scab to fall off? Do you think I should be alarmed that it is lifting at edge and contact dr?
