Mohs Procedure on Scalp for Squamous?

 You might be experiencing a side effect of a pain med or antibiotic used for the surgery. But in no way did the surgery itself cause your symptoms.

Sometimes when procedures on the scalp are done, some of the nerves can be affected. There is no way around this, but it does happen often. Over time they will resolve on their own. But it can result in some pain or numbness, and in a select few patients, I've had it result in some dizziness or light headedness. It will resolve over time and please remember the cancer did need to be removed. But you can also visit your physician for a follow-up or ask him/her about it when you go in for your suture removal. For some people I recommend they take Chlorpheniramine Maleate Antihistamine (4 pills, 2x a day). Although it might sound a bit goofy, these allergy pills - this kind only - available cheaply at any pharmacy help with light headedness, vertigo, and dizziness for many, many people, including me!
