@kaki49 I have squamous cell carcinoma on the tip of my nose and have my Mohs surgery scheduled for 2/25. How long was your recovery? And how did your scars heal?

@kauger1729 I’ve recovered quite well From MOH’s. Not on my nose though. My forehead, and clavicle.
Good luck

@kauger1729 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from the crease area of my left nostril, via MOHS. It was an awkward spot, to be sure. It healed up well. As others will tell you, follow your doctor's orders for post-procedure protocol. And add a hat and sunscreen to your regimen from here on out!

I had SCC on tip and side edge of my nose. They had to remove lots of skin & some cartilage. Healing depends on how much they have to remove during MOHS. Aftercare at home is very important. Do exactly what your surgeon says to do for follow up care & appointments. Praying for you.
