Skin cancer removed from face




Back in November I had a mole-looking thing growing on my face. It had sprung up and grown pretty big in 6 months, so I asked my dermatologist to cut it off and send it in for testing. It came back as a squamous cell carcinoma, the second level type of skin cancer.

After they cut it off it itched and burned daily. Everything came together and I had it removed yesterday. The Moh's surgery only took one swipe and the doctor said he was able to keep it small but the sewed-up wound looks pretty big on my face! I'm sure it will look fine after it heals...
