Skin cancer treated on face: How do you deal with going out in public?

Hello

I recently treated my forehead and wore a bandanna to cover it. Helps to keep it out of the sun to.
I would try and talk to your boss and see if you can take it according to your reaction. You’re probably fine for the 1st 7 days.
Maybe more.
On my last treatment I found the two days after completely the worse. But got to day 16 and Derm said I could stop. Affects me in many ways. Not only the side effects they list. So listen to your body and be kind to yourself.
Good luck

@beneah77 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! That's a great suggestion, to wear a covering if you can. And once again, your story shows many of us have different types of reactions.

Are you feeling better now?
