If you go for a Mohs consult it is helpful if you have a photo of the original biopsy site on your phone or
EHR. Forehead cancers are a good site for Mohs
healing. Radiation will generally cause several weeks of
inflammation in the healing process. SRT is helpful for
people on blood thinners or risk of bleeding. Check to
see if your surgeon is fellowship trained and certified.

My new doctors says she does not do MOHS on small Basil cell sites. I have previously had MOHS on my collarbone area and my forehead. Both my MOHS are thin barely visible scars 1 inch and 4 inches was 2 passes, dr had microscope tech in office and I waited with open wound to see if all cancer was gone, it was after 2nd pass. Also Melanoma last Sept 2023 it has a big ugly scar it was on my back and less than a pencil eraser and the scar is two inches and thick looking. Now another Basil cell and I am not ready so I am waiting to have it removed. Was thinking about checking into SRT.
