I recommend that you follow-up with your Mohs surgeon as soon as possible. Foul-smelling discharge could indicate an infection, especially if you have any other symptoms (fever, swelling, redness, etc). If an infection is suspected, your doctor will perform a simple bacterial culture and possibly give you antibiotics.
My advice is to call your Mohs surgeon and see him/her so they can take a look. It really depends on what was done to stitch the area up or if it was left to heal on its own. Also sometimes patients get infections afterwards in about 1-5% of cases so again it is important to followup with your Mohs surgeon and give them the chance to evaluate the area.
I would suggest you return to your surgeon for an evaluation asap. Because there is tissue there which is healing sometimes it can have a smell to it. But it's important to have the area checked and make certain there is no infection.

Thank you for the question. It sounds like the indented area has been skin grafted but either the fat and or the fat and cartilage has not been restored. Fat grafting and sometimes fillers can be used to replace the volume lost from surgery that was not replenished with a skin graft...
As the other doctors who have answered your question say it depends on the subtype of BCC. If it is micro-nodular/infiltrative/morpheic then Mohs' is recommended.In the first instance have a biopsy taken so the correct subtype is diagnosed.Scars on the nose will settle well, please don't worry.
Well done for choosing Mohs' surgery, you have a less than 1 % chance of recurrence of the BCC.\If you have not noticed anything for 2 years, your present problem is not because of the surgery you had then. I would go and see an ENT surgeon, who will look into your nose and see why you...
