I went to the derma couple of weeks ago, and she found a Squamous Cell Carcinoma on the top of my head. She sent me over to a MOHS Surgeon since there is so littl “meat” to work with up there.
The surgeon got it all in the first layer and the wound was about half an inch in diameter. Closing became an issue because at my age, the skin doesn’t stretch enough. So she cut about a 4” flap from my skull and stretched it to cover the flap area and the wound. It was like filleting a fish.
I was going to post a photo, but it would likely get the post deleted. Send me a PM if you want to see it. Be forewarned, it’s about 40 stitches and not pretty.
