@bluelizard Let me add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! @tomrennie is very knowledgeable in this area.

Honestly, I cringed reading about the SCC and procedure you had done. I have had many SCC and BCC procedures done using Mohs. In fact 2 more Mohs surgeries are coming in about 5 weeks, one on each eyebrow. My melanoma surgery in 2008 was a flap procedure on right forearm. Have you noticed any healing in the area of the excision?

Actually I was making good initial progress with my first piggy-patch...before all went south a week later. I have confidence in my physician, however, and am still in it to win it. Nevertheless, when I signed on for the placenta patch, I think my rose-colored glasses might've obscured my view.

I will be thinking of you Ginger in the weeks ahead. As an old farm kid from the long ago prior to UV protective creams, clothing, etc. I imagine I'm just starting my real education in skin cancer, despite a Mal melanoma excision in 2019 which was a piece of cake.
