Hi, I'm sylvie, and I am new to the group. I recently had a skin melanoma and a basal cell carcinoma removed. The melanoma wound has healed, but not the carcinoma one. Am a little worried about it, as the scab is still there 15 weeks later. Should I be worried?
Hi kittie and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you've recently had both a melanoma and BCC removed and that the BCC wound hasn't healed yet. Have you spoken to your skin cancer nurse specialist about this?
I can see that you've already found and joined the skin cancer group which would be a good place to ask your question about the healing time of a BCC.

It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway.
