I had squamous cell on my face size of a silver dollar. After 3-4 times going back in during the MOHS they got it all. That was quite a few years ago I would definitely go back to John Hopkins or a major hospital like them, Mayo etc. and I’d continue to be followed by them. Since my squamous I’ve had 3 Basal and a Melonoma insitu. All is good, none spread internally but that’s just be a I’m being followed by major University. My dermatologist was freezing the melonoma thinking. It was nothing.

@nancyj21 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am glad to hear your melanoma was finally addressed. That was my situation, also, with melanoma. Three doctors dismissed it as a "rash", before I paid out-of-pocket for a biopsy. It was amelanotic, meaning no discernible color, which is not a common finding. I now sport a 32-stitch scar on my right forearm from the surgery, that was in 2008.
