Is it safe to take an hour-long bumpy taxi ride to the plastic surgeon right after Mohs on my forehead?

Asked By:Lindalonia in New York, NY

I was diagnosed with nodular BCC in the middle of my forehead. I have an appointment with a Mohs surgeon and a plastic surgeon to do the closure. Their offices are on different sides of town. I am worried about taking a jerky, bumpy taxi trip in heavy big city traffic with a fresh open wound on my forehead. Can this lead to more problems, excess bleeding, more bruising?
