Basal Cell Carcinoma on Leg

I have just been diagnosed with basal cell cancer on my thigh. The doctor is recommending one of two treatments. 1. Scrape the cancer and cauterize underneath. No additional treatment after. 2. Cut out all of the cancer. Will require deeper incisions of the skin. Send the sample to the lab. Some inside and outside stitches to close the wound. Any suggestions or experience with either? I’m meeting with her today and am sort of leaning towards #2. Thanks.

The exact terminology of the two treatment options are E D & C or excision. Would appreciate any input.

I agree with #2-- have had scrapes didn't work.
