I believe you're thinking of BBCs, sir.BCCs can be white?
sh!t dude, keep us all posted. Like a lot of us I'm a white boy with a history that puts me at high risk.this is a very big hole....
forehead skin doesn't travel as much so he doesn't think he
can actually pull it shut with just the surrounding tissue
at least this doc prescribed some legit pain meds
after suffering the CVS inquisition I went home and finally
got some sleep.

Think about leaving the scar and having some pubic hair tatoo’d around it. That would be a conversation starter.this is a very big hole....

That will heal up good. Keep it lubed up. Did they give you silicone strips?
That looks better than the other day. Duct tape it up and hit the beach!
Yep, on my lips. Sucks. Find out how they want you to dose. I did too many days in a row and it was super painful, doc changed his rec on how to apply when I have to do it again (my lips were chronically chapped which turned out to be pre cancer from getting fried lips as a kid). All in all though, not that bad and worth doing for peace of mind. Father in law had this done for his face, pretty gnarly red and peeling and some pain but again, not that bad. I'd say go for it.Anybody here ever do Fluoruoricil? My dermo has been pushing that idea, rather than me getting liquid nitrogen zaps every 6 months. Been reading up on it, looks gnarly.
Yes, it's a chemo cream basically. You apply it, and it removes layers of skin. It's uncomfortable, painful even, but if the alternative is cancer?Is the Fluoroicil where they chemically burn off your face with the UV reactive coating? My uncle had that done a couple weeks ago. When I saw him on Thanksgiving he looked like he had been in a boiler room explosion. He said "never again" and that he would rather just deal with the other methods.

I'm a mohs surgeon in california. Surfers 30 and over ought to get checked every year. Sooner if you have a "pimple that wont go away" (bcc almost 100% of the time) or a sore that heals and then bleeds again repeatedly. Mohs is by far the best method for treating skin cancer on the face. Only 1-2mm of skin is being removed beyond the cancer. The reason people think the scars are so large is you cant sew a circle closed without getting puckers on each side. You have to cut a football shape around it so it sees down flat. If the cancer is on the nose, lips, around eyes, ears then skin must often be freed up enough so that laxity from a distant site can be used to cover the defect without distorting what are called "free margins" like the nostril or eyelid. Trust me we want the scar as small as possible just like you do.
Other methods (scrape and burn, 5fluorouracil, other topicals) have much lower cure rates, so recurrence is likely, and those can be catastrophic because they may grow undetected for years. Radiation is an option for some cancers on the face, but usually best reserved for people over 65 and lower risk subtypes of bcc and scc, because radiation runs the skin in the area and if you get another cancer there in the future your options are limited. Cure rate not as high as mohs surgery either.
