Anyone with experience in the Dermatology field or with Basal Cell Carcinoma (skin cancer)?


I am a 32 year old female with light skin, light eyes, freckles and dark hair. I had my first basal cell at 26 years old (on my chest near my collarbone) and have since had one on my face (near my hairline across from my eye) and a superficial basal cell on my eye lid (near my brow bone). The first two were removed by excision. I have yet to have the one on my eye removed because the biopsy left a large scar and I can only imagine what the scar will look like if they burn it off or if I use the cancer cream. If they burn it off I will have a huge scar there and if I use the cancer cream it will be 6-8 weeks of a nasty, festering sore. I am thinking of having the superficial basal cell excised but the nurse at the Dr's office thinks I am an idiot for not just burning the thing off. I am not overly vain but who wants a huge scar on their eye. Now, to make matters worse...I have another superficial basal cell on my eye (close to the first one) as well as a big one on my shoulder.

If you have dealt with this before...what is my best option of having the ones on my eye removed? I don't want to scar and the biopsy left a large "pock" mark which I hate and I am now faced with another one!

Honey, scars can be FIXED with a laser.

But they can't be fixed if you're dead. Skin cancer left untreated is one of the most deadly forms of cancer.
Go get it removed right away before it spreads.

Get 'moe surgery" and get plastic surgery done at the same time...............I had 32 stiches in my nose and it looks fine.........
Get it done soon, sometimes they migrate........
You don't say where you are located....If in NYC area...........try Dr Bruce Katz.......at JUVA
