Hi everyone, new to this but here we go, I could do with some advice after a large area of SCC carcinoma on the left side of my forehead about 6months ago which has left me with a numbness on that side, I did expect some nerve damage and swelling but it seems a long time I thought it would have got a bit better by now. Has anyone else experienced this.
Hi clisan
I'm sorry to see that nobody's replied to your post after I suggested that you join this group. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
I'm 'tagging' Smudge 1999 into my reply as they recently mentioned that their husband was experiencing numbness on their head after an excision. Hopefully they'll pop on and share their husband's experience with you.

Hi I had a BCC on forehead and had it removed with a skin graft. I now have permanent numbness which has slightly Impey. Was warned I would lose sensation though!
Thank you for replying has put my mind at ease. I did not think it was permanent and my eye lid has drooped. A well a small price to pay
Think they have to cut nerves - hence numbness. Had it done in November 2923, and have regained some sensation. It isn’t a problem- just a bit weird at 1st!
Thank you for your reply, very reassuring and yes it feels very weird.
