I have had about 8 Mohs surgeries to remove basal cell cancer (BCC) and one SCC.

You asked about MOHS. Is it painful. No. The most painful thing is getting the nummy medication into the area around where the MOHS surgery will be. After that you only feel pressure.

Time to heal really deals with where the surgery was done. How much skin was removed, etc. So not having that information can't comment nor would I as that is something a dermatologist should guide you on and/or your MOHS surgeon.

MOHS surgery is taking the diagnosed area and some tissue outside of the the diagnosed area. Then the tissue is sent to pathlology and it is determine if all cancer is gone or a need to take more tissue out. Then when more tissue is taken goes back to pathlology to determine if all margins are clear. You remain in surgery until all margins are clear.

Basal cell cancers grown slowly. Most are not going to metasisies (per my dermatologist) but can. My dermatologist said worst for Basal Cell is not treating and removing but letting grow. It can then invade other tissues, muscles, organs, as it grows and surgery become much more serious.

Why is so important to get it early with ongoing dermatologist inspection of your skin.
