@grammato3 Thank you for your response. It was detected on a full body check. It was basal cell carcinoma after a biopsy. It was very very tiny, so yes I was surprised how big of an incision was used. They did look for clear margins on after the incision and it was clear.

@shells14: good for you for having a full body check and getting those clear margins! It still surprises me how many people think skin checks aren’t important but you’re one example of how valuable they truly are. And rest assured that six sutures are within the typical range for these types of procedures especially around the nose. You did the right thing in your steps to remain healthy and are a good example to others!
Can you back in with me after you’ve had more time to heal in early spring, so I can hear how you’re doing then? I bet you’ll see…and feel,,,a marked improvement.
