Squamous cell carcinoma on my face

I've had two MOHS on my upper lip. Both well repaired by 2 different drs. The first was like yours, from nose to inside lip. I ate with a straw for a week. Also use water pik to clean teeth as I couldn't get a brush in. 3 yrs later its not so bad. One side of my mouth is shorter and I'm missing one bow but lip liner hides it ok. Main thing is don't procrastinate when you get a red spot. I've gone on to other scc's around my head and now on my second set of radiation, I believe due to not getting checked soon enough.

Thanks for your input, did your surgeons ever recommend plastic surgery? Mine did not.
Maybe in a few months, mine will look & feel better. Did you ever try Mederma? It's supposed to heal the scar. so far no luck, it is a gel that the Dr. recommended.
I've never had to have radiation, that must be very scary for you.
I really appreciate your advice & hope we don't have to go thru this again.
