@jpeters6930 Another one here with redhead, and blue eyes.

I have had the freezing with liquid nitrogen. Initially very painful, need to keep it a bit moisturized as it heals/peels. Also the fluorouracil topical cream. As was explained to me, the topical is going to cause a reaction at the location of the bad areas, whether or not you put it on there! As @slarson14 commented, either treatment can cause uncomfortable responses from us. In my mind, that means it is working!

Next week I go in for MOHS procedures on squamous cell areas contained within both eyebrows, that are not responding to liquid nitrogen to stop them. The result will be interesting to see; may need to get my bestie's daughter involved to show me how to make it look like I have eyebrows!

I wish you the best with your MOHS procedure. Strange area for sure. I also had a SCC on my bottom lip. The plastic surgeon had to get creative with that one. It did leave a scare but rather a scar than loose my lip!!
