I need to go back to my dermatologist for a mole check and have her look at a small thing on my forehead. I have had two basal cells, one 25 years ago, another about 2 years ago. (Sun worshipper for the first half of my life
-stupid. )The first one was a hard bump next to my nose and was taken off by a scalpel-only one stitch, done by the dermatologist. The other was on my upper chest, same procedure. So I have had small ones, I guess.
My question since Mohs surgery is something I never heard of. Is the Mohs surgeon also your dermatologist? Or did your dermatologist diagnosis and then send you to the surgeon.
Both times when I had mine removed, they confirmed basal cell with the removed part, no further surgery. Did your dermatologist take a biopsy and then refer you to the surgeon for more surgery? Would love some info because although she is very good, I don't care that much for my dermatologist.
