@minervita Your doctor might choose to do a skin graft in order to have a decent area to heal. And since you are on a blood thinner, I suggest you make sure they understand that, and ask if you are supposed to stop that for a certain number of days before the procedure happens. I know that my doctors often tell me that, but then again I only take a low dose aspirin. I have had that MOHS procedure several times, on my face and arms. And every time there are stitches involved. The most complex one was on my collarbone, and the scar looks like a lightning strike!

Thank you 🌹you are giving me important information. I take the blood
thinner Eliquis. When I asked, they responded Eliquis is safe. My MOHS
procedure is scheduled for February 4. They emailed me detailed directions
on what to do before the surgery. A practical suggestion is to take a book
📚to read and snacks🐿️. I guess it could be lengthy.
I am sorry you had to endure so many MOHS procedures. Hopefully they were
not deep.
Thank you for your response. God’s blessings going your way🙏🕊️🙏
