I have had over 5 scc's: behind ear, forehead, nose crease, upper lip (had one bow removed w/mohs), chest, eyebrow and biggest on my forehead at hairline. I didn't recognize that one as it was smooth raised flesh colored and finally developed a hole that bled and stung. It was removed by mohs but w/4 passes to get it all. Took all day! huge hole in my forehead w/incisions radiating out. It's taken 2 months to close up to a small scab. I have just started 4 weeks of adjuvant radiation therapy to reduce chances of return. It had gone into nerves but not bone thankfully. I feel very guilty that I didn't act on it sooner as I have on others that I recognized. And, that I see a
dermo on a regular basis but it wasn't noted. Oh well, I hope to be more vigilant and catch what comes next as
I'm sure it will. I cover up but seems like being outside at all is a risk and I love gardening. I am so grateful to have my dr. at Mayo in Jacksonville. And, I have also explored Libtayo as a future option if I get many more scc's.
