@hello1234 For Mohs, the surgeon does small sections, then takes it the lab to see if they got the margins and they repeat this until it comes back clean. For scrapes, they just scrape the area and cauterize the spot. I’m not going to do any more scrapes because they take way too long to heal. I had one in December and it was still slightly oozing a week ago. You need to find a good dermatologist who understands the special needs of transplant patients.

@mollyv Thank you so much for the heads up about the "scraping". The slow healing process is good to know.
How did you find your specialist dermatologist?
I find it very difficult to find knowledgeable local doctors that understand transplant.
Which sunscreen do you use?
