    The one Dr I work for does Mohs, is it under your eye and by your nose?
    I am so sorry to hear this, seen the pictures and now how damaging it can be. However with a good plastic surgeon the wound should be closed and almost invisible.
    I wish you the very best of luck. I am glad you are keeping on top of this.

I have had numerous skin cancers removed from various places on my body but my face has caught the worst. i am scheduled for my 4th Mohs micrographic surgery next week.

    My advice to all is to use an appropriate sun screen when in the sun, better
    yet avoid sun exposure all together. Take vitamin D supplements and just hide in your basement.

    The one I am having done next week is in an ideal place not to show. It is just below where my sideburns would end. The previous ones were beside my left eye and beside my nose. Neither of my previous procedures shows a scare that is readily visible. All of my procedures were performed by a very good Surgern at UAB.
