Oh no! So sorry! My last three (at this point) were MOHS excised in June and July. Very deep and very aggressive. And they are still weeks out from being closed completely because the healing takes so long on the legs. Since I’ve had trouble with sutures not holding and multiple infections, the surgeon didn’t completely close the wounds to let them drain. The drainage has made for lots of wound care, but no infections so far. And the steroid cream I’ve applied to the rest of my legs seems to have calmed the skin enough so that I’ve had no further occurrences. I know nothing about the infusion option you’ve been offered. I know that at my most desperate point, I would have considered almost any option. I’m sure you will study side effects and ask to talk to patients in similar circumstances who can give you their first hand experience of the drug involved. Be your own advocate! Let us know what you decide!

Can you please tell me the name of the steroid cream you are using on your legs.
