Hi! I had my 3rd Mohs surgery in same spot, left nostril to remove bcc a yr ago & a full thickness skin graft & bone cartilage added to support my nostril. I'm still feeling zaps of pain and continuous burning daily, even though there's nerve damage. It doesn't feel normal, as my 1st two Mohs I didnt have any burning or pain after only weeks. I'm worried there's still cancer in there. And how would I even know? I cant get a straight answer from Derms or my surgeons. I worry daily, what can I do?
My MOHS procedure on tip of my nose ,took 3 times to get clear margins as it was deep and long ...biopsy after showed Nodule and Infilterative Basal. My surgeon closed with a PENG closure on the same day using dissolvable stitches .9 weeks later healng well to look at ,surface stitches gone to naked eye .Concern is the constant soreness , slight tightness ,sharp and tingling pain underneath , from the tip to bridge of nose . also itching
I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from the right side of my forehead at the hairline 1 week ago. The Dr had to go in 3 times to get clear margins (was 1 1/4in diameter) and had to cauterize several areas during the procedure. I've had severe facial swelling extending to my eyes, cheeks, and jawline. I've had to miss work because of the swelling/pain. I have a lot of burning pain and discomfort that hydrocodone is not touching, but I'm taking Motrin during the day. Sutures have to be in for 3 weeks.
The Dermatologist who did the surgery several months ago has used abrasion a few times and also zapped the whole side of my nose to kill the follicle, but again, another area is still growing long dark hair. I am tired of the pain, embarrassment and having my nose bandaged off and on for months. Is repeated treatment like this to be expected with this outcome from surgery? Is a graph taken from in front of ear wise? Should I be seeking a second opinion since he can't seem to finish the job?
I had mohs surgery 1 week ago and plastic re-constructive surgery followed.It was for my upper lip which was diagnosed as malignant squamous cell carcinoma. What should I expect as far as pain postoperatively? I am having sharp, stabbing pain, worse than before surgery.Is this normal?I had a grandmother who died of brain cancer and a mother who died of lung cancer. A Dr. Edward Parry did the Mohs surgery and a Dr. Bassichis did the plastic surgery. I live in Roswell, NM, they are 500 miles away.
Hello- I have a red, painful, oval shaped bump right along the line where my underwear or a bikini would fall. I've had ingrowns a lot in the past but this isn't going away and I can't find a root. It's painful because it rubs my clothes and I'm also noticing a faint smell. Had a Pap smear and urine test while it was there last week and came back clear but wondering if a blood test for herpes is necessary or if it could even be something skin cancer related as I have a history . Thanks!
