I am having the same issues. I have had 5 squamous cell spots removed by Mohs Surgery, only after being biopsied. I now have three spots that have reappeared at the spot of the surgeries and have had them biopsied. I have been referred to another dermatologist, but have to wait a month and a half to get in. They have told me that mine are aggresive and I have a terrible time waiting in limbo!

@runner101 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Waiting to be seen for a dermatologist or any specialist for that matter, when you know there is something wrong, is hard on the nerves, isn't it? One thing that I found helps is to ask them if there is a wait list for cancellations. If that fits your schedule, you can certainly jump ahead in line. I have done that, and told them I'll take any practitioner, at either office. One office is 45 miles away, their other one is 30 miles in the opposite direction. Sometimes it works out.
And yep, they always have to biopsy them. I had two MOHS procedures in less than 3 months. Interesting, the one on top of my knuckle healed better than the other one further up my arm!
