Anyone have Squamous cell cancer and where?

I understand all of the above concerns about visible scarring and discomfort following skin cancer removal. I'd had a large wide local resection followed by a slow Mohs on my face and had a significant scar afterwards from mid nose down to the top of my mouth. I did a couple of rounds of laser resurfacing at my dermatologist's office which provided a huge improvement. It's so faint, it's only noticeable if I point it out to people.

@grammato3 , and or Susan
Sometimes I feel like I should find another dermatologist, but in a small and rural area, they don't exist. I have never been offered some of the newer techniques that I hear about here. Laser treatments are not available, nor are
plastic surgeons and their magic scalpels. Travel is too hard for someone of my age & physical condition, and of course the weather! But I am glad to hear about what is offered to other skin cancer patients.
