Just had 7 stitches taken out of my cheek eight days ago after having skin cancer removed and this morning (at 0800) I've got to have more removed on my upper lip which is about half way from the bottom of my lip to just below my nose......this is being done by a specialist that my regular dermatologist referred me to that is geared more towards reconstruction of the area after removal.
I'd be willing to bet I've had skin cancer surgically removed a minimum of 35 times so far so I'm no stranger to having it done.........I've had to have my nose cut on four times and three of those times it involved removing tissue from behind my ears to fill in the hole and one of those times I had to be IV sedated.
Where am I going with this ?
Because of my history with skin cancer I go every 90 days to see my dermatologist and he always finds spots to freeze or that need a biopsy but find yourself a good dermatologist and get looked over from head to toe at least once a year.........luckily all of mine have been basal cells thus far.
