Hi @ch47, I'm tagging fellow members who have had cancer (basal cell, squamous cell or melanoma) removed from their scalp such as @cam108, @gaybinator @birdman518, @dankay36 @joanski @marye2 and @sylviapf. I'm hoping some of them can share their experiences with surgical closure options vs leaving open and the healing process.

I can understand your concerns about damage to the hair follicles and having a bald spot on the top of your head. Were you able to go through all the pros and cons of wound closure with your surgeon and the likely healing results?

I wonder who you might talk to about tatoo or cosmetic hair covering options. Many cancer centers have wig and head covering shops for people going through hair loss due to chemo. I might stop by and talk to the people there about both creative hair and head covering stylings and where you might get more information.
