Asked By:2jeansmith2 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
I had Mohs surgery to remove a small scc 7 weeks ago. One layer was removed, followed by vertical closure. Following the procedure, I had COVID and a minor staph infection of the wound which was treated with Keflex. There are two areas of wound dehiscence that I am treating with mild soap and warm water followed by a smear of Mupirocin or Aquaphor. The areas on either side of the suture have lost all the hair stubble that was present previously. What treatment should I seek for hair loss?
