- I'm back with a skin cancer update and a peek at how the scar is healing! I filmed this exactly 1 month after the removal of basal cell carcinoma from my nose. I'm letting you all know how the procedure went and what to expect if you also have to have skin cancer removed!

Thank you for sharing your story. I had my surgery Aug. 28th
The surgery was not as bad as I thought it would be. The healing has been harder on me. Mine was also on the side of my nose. I've been going through some depression, but watching your video tonight gives me hope that everything will be ok. Thank you ❤
srivera28 rivera oh I’m so glad! I actually just got diagnosed with another spot which sucks but at least I know what’s coming. Good luck with healing!

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m currently waiting for my appointment to get tested for cancer as well & your 2 videos on this topic were super informative. Really helps to put my mind at ease. Hope you’re doing well! 💓
Your video and explanation are so helpful. I had a BCC removed with flap reconstruction 3 days ago; have a black eye today and swollen eye, a little discomfort. Your video really gives me encouragement. Thanks for doing it. And for your thoroughness.
You’re welcome! It’s a freaky thing to face but I’m sure it’ll all turn out fine. Best of luck healing!
Wow, you are an amazing person. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing, I just had the same surgery, same size same spot same evening, I was sad, but you gave me hope. You look amazing.
Thank you! So sorry you had to go through that. Best of luck with your healing!!
I just had back surgery for possible skin cancer I got 12 stitches I'm glad I'm not alone with this situation it's scary
@@BonnieWiscombe your channel is helpful and very well calming it's showing that skin cancer can be cured if caught early thank you
This is a good video. Going for my MOHS Tuesday, Jan. 23. Mine is almost exactly like yours. You look good and gave great advice. Thank you - I am scared to pieces - they said they would give me a little pill to help me relax.
It is totally scary the first time! But you’ve got this. Just an hour or so of discomfort and then you can start to heal. Best of luck!
Hellow hope your doing well. Sadly lost people to cancer this year.
Thank you. That was very helpful.
Jeanne JeanneL you’re very welcome!
Thank you for sharing.... you have calmed me slightly... cause in a few days I will have 5 BCC’s removed & one has to be a skin graft... not fun 🙃... I heal quickly but don’t know whether I’ll heal ‘well’... so, you’ve given me hope... thank you for your detailed video 👏
Thanks so much for making this video. Im at the beginning stage freeking out and shit worried about getting my face cut up. My BCC is on my nose also by bigger and at the top of my nose
So sorry Denise!! I will say that it is terrifying to have done and see a big scar but the healing has been amazing- bodies are so resilient! Best of luck!!
I just had the surgery mine was right in the middle of my nose. I was so upset the first time I looked at it. It's a process and will take time. Thank you for all the information .
I felt the same way- it looked way worse than I anticipated but has healed really well and it’s hard to even notice the scar now. Best wishes on your healing!
I had a basal cell removed from my scalp a week ago and was told to soak the incision stitches in vinegar soak15 min twice a day then apply vasoline and bandage up with new bandage ! I can’t wait to get stitches out & hair grow back
Good Morning Beautiful ☀️☕️ I am old enough to be your mother, but I am sitting here with the original circle band-aid from my dermatologist’s office. I had a biopsy yesterday and I am praying that it isn’t skin cancer. Your video is smart, well done and quite informative! Thank You for Sharing! New sub here! -Kimberly ❌⭕️🤷🏼♀️
Best of luck, Kimberly!
I'm so scared right now I just got a spot removed on my back and two birthmarks I have 12 stitches glad I found your channel waiting for biopsy results to come back to see if it was cancer the dermatologist had to go deep in my back to get it I rather live with a scar then any type of cancer and rather be cut open
Best of luck!! It’s scary but I’m sure you’ll heal just fine.
Congrats, it wasn't worse. Mohs surgery resulted in me getting nose flap surgery. Quite a dramatic experience requiring several surgeries in the hospital and kids thinking I was an actor on The Walking Dead show. Better now, but it took awhile.
Oh NO. That sounds awful. Anything dealing with the face is pretty traumatic!! Glad yours healed well!
Thankyou - I've just had the incision - have to confess it was a shock - my "punch hole" is probably 3 times the size of yours. Currently waiting to hear results - that margins are clear. My Dermatologist has suggested the Flap. All new to me - so your video was so helpful and comforting.
Sorry I missed your comment! Hopefully it all went well for you. Best wishes!
Wow you got a good result, I had a bcc under my eye, I've got an inch long scar, but it's healed really well, that was 3 years ago, I just had another cut from my neck yesterday.
Jean Moore thank you! I’m so sorry to hear that- but it is what it is, right? Best wishes for healing!
Jean I have moh's surgery this month under my eye called a squamous basal hybrid. My neck was done in 2015 and have a 5" scar that runs along my wrinkle.
A month ago I had a BCC under my eye too n also a long inch scar but I think my healing not been that fast. I am seeing the doctor tomorrow for a follow up but my scar still dark Red a bit swollen looks like irritated.. and now is itching burning and sometimes I feel like pulse sensation. I hope isn't an infection cant wait for tomorrow's follow up! How long it took you for the scar to fade away?
@@solmari777 It was not really that noticeable after the redness went , the scar is virtually unnoticeable now , the only thing is I now have a slight dent as my scar starts right in the inside corner of my eye and runs down my tear trough onto my cheek, so it looks a bit different from my other eye.
@@jeanmoore7638 sounds like mine thank u for the response ! Now I am freaking out waiting 1 more month for the scar to heal n then will go check my whole body !
How long did u have it befor u found out what it was
Skin cancer can be scary but if it's caught early it can be treated with surgery I'm freaking out about the spot that was removed from my back I rather have surgery and scars then have full blown cancer take care of yourself away get checked out I'm glad I got seen by a dermatologist and he wanted to do the surgery right away I'm hurting but hopefully it's not bad but if it is or was it can be cured they will cut it out the surgery is not bad at all just after the numbness wears off
Thank you for sharing this!
You're welcome!
My doctor asked me if I wanted to see I said no he said eventually I want you to see it so you know what cancer does. I think with the big line of stitches I realize how bad it was, im 1 week post op and still scared what final outcome will be when healed
I hope it healed great! My latest surgery still has a decent scar but I’m trying to use it as an educational tool and not be too upset about it. Best of luck!
I'm really scared right now. I've got BC on my nose and will be having it removed 2-16. I'm going to a dermatologist and don't know how marred my nose will look. The dermatologist said nothing about plastic surgery. Worrying a lot.
Hopefully it all worked out ok for you! I know it can be scary.
@@BonnieWiscombe It was an experience I never want to live through again. My face is still scarred, but healing. Please wear sunscreen. I'm using sunscreen and wearing hats. Thank you for your comment. God bless
Interesting. I had the same procedure and I'm on day one of recovery. They didn't give me any bandaid at all. Just told me to use polysporn to keep the crust from forming! Yuck.
I had another procedure last year and they didn’t bandage it either. The bandage the first time may have been because I required some minor surgery to close the wound (not just stitches). Best of luck healing!
I have 2 on my legs (dark brown), the other one is a bit huge like about less than 1cm , which is bumpy no pain and has small white color on the surface, I have had this since I was young and noticed it's getting bigger year by year, but don't spread yet and no sign of lymph nodes all over my body, I'm worried of, coz it can be melanoma not sure, but don't spread since I was young ,I'm 29 now..help me out
It never hurts to get it checked out my a dermatologist! They can tell you if it’s something to keep an eye on
I am 54 never was in the sun as a child or much as an adult always used sunscreen. Dec 2019 noticed a (something) under my right eye.
By March it was my little (alien).
Not to big just enough that it annoyed me. With all the Covid 19 it was difficult to get in to see my doctor, by August one morning I woke up and it was bleeding.
I was like good now I don't have a see it out of the corner of my eye anymore. It went down but continued to bleed, into the doctor I went he says that needs to be removed and biopsyed today.
After a few injections and having it removed I went on to work felt fine.
5 days later I get a call saying it's Basel Cell Carcinoma best kind of cancer to have. I didn't exactly feel lucky at the time. Getting the call at work was rattling I know it wasn't the worst news but it was CANCER I HAD CANCER!
This wasn't something that was going to take my life but it was still my cancer.
I was due to have surgery Sept 21st
Unfortunately I have Covid 19 so surgery has been postponed until October.
You are the first real person I have seen on a video.
You are so refreshing!!
Yes- I felt exactly the same way!! Cancer never sounds lucky- but it really is the easiest to get rid of. I hope you get yours removed soon! 💕
How long was your cancer present before you released it was there or cancer?
Realised
Good question Marianne! I noticed a tiny bump there for a while (maybe 6 months?) but just thought it was a blemish that wouldn’t heal. It was skin color and not really noticeable but I’m glad I finally got it checked!
You look great
Thanks friend!
I just had a abnormal skin growth removed from my nose today. I’m so scared and nervous that it was skin cancer. Now I have a Small hole on the left side of my nose.
oh no! I'm so sorry. Fingers crossed that it's not cancer but even if it is, it's likely that it's not a serious kind. Best of luck!
Bonnie Wiscombe Thank You Bonnie, Ill keep you posted.
Why did you have the additional plastic surgeon?
Sometimes the dermatologist will close up the wound but because it was in a very visible place and I'm on the younger side of patients, we chose to go to a plastic surgeon so that I could have the best possible outcome. I'm really pleased with how well it healed.
Fyi you look good without makeup as well
Aw thank you Colleen!
How long did you have the lesion/spot before you got it checked out??
Gosh, probably several years! Mine seemed to almost heal and go away, then it would come back which is why I finally got it checked
@@BonnieWiscombe thanks for responding ☺️
I’m 28 years old and otherwise healthy but I have a basal cell right on my nose in the same spot as you!!! But the lesion looked totally different. It was raised and like a clear pinkish hard blister. Had it for a year. My Mohs is on April 7th.
Glad you’re getting it removed! Best of luck on the surgery
I was just diagnosed with bcc on the right side of my nose. I thought it was a pimple, and I tried everything to get rid of it. I finally realized this could be cancer! I don't know what took me so long. I have to schedule mohs surgery, but am trying to decide whether to go back to the dermatologist or just go straight to a plastic surgeon. Has anyone done this? I'm so stressed and have to make a decision...
@@jerzgirl6780 hey, sorry to hear that! If you want to talk more I just recently had my BCC removed from the top of my nose. My dermatologist coordinated with a plastic surgeon who they work with. I’d say to ask your dermatologist to recommend a plastic surgeon to do the follow up reconstruction. I had my skin graft the same day as my Mohs, but there was also the option to wait a several days and then do the reconstruction. Also, make sure to get an in person meeting with the plastic surgeon beforehand so he can look at your nose and think about/plan the best procedure ahead of time!
