Is tingling and burning normal 3 days after a skin graft on the nose from Mohs basal cell carcinoma surgery? (Photo)

Question

Michael H. Swann, MD · Answer

Hello,Thank you for your question! Some burning and tingling is to be expected following Mohs surgery. Sometimes it can be the result of irritation due to antibiotic ointment or adhesive from the bandage. If the burning and tingling is associated with severe pain, redness, or swelling, it could be a sign of infection and you would want to reach out to your surgeon and schedule a wound check just to be safe.
