I had basal cell cancer on my shoulder. They did not do Mohs. Surgeon removed the margins and stitched. Healed well.

At the same time I had pre-cancerous lips. Effudex was the treatment as it has been the previous 4-5 times I have had pre-cancer lips. Not a pleasant treatment but I would assume preferred over surgery on the lips.

I think insurance would pay for cosmetic surgery to restore your lips. Keep us posted and best of luck!

All I can say is %^#@, Wow, I don't think I could use that treatment after looking at the pix and comments of the link above, I will have to try a plastic surgeon in a nearby town, as we live in the country and do not have much choice of dermatologists.
You are one brave guy, and I really appreciate your information.
