I have 1 basil cell spot on my chest, I want to know if I should just have my dermatologist remove it, or if should go to a mohs surgeon. I'm a 67 yr old male. I've had another spot on my face removed by a dermatologist years back, and when it came back I had to have it removed by Mohs, and was very satisfied with the results. My new dermatologist said that mohs is normally done on the face not on the body.
