I had an scc removed wth small margin from my nose in March , would healing ok but iridge now right in middle of nose , I have received no other follow up or advice except cover up n sunscreen (which I do anyway ) on my letter it says keratacanthoma like scc! Consultant said I will be seen in 6 mths for check up , is all that normaL? Should I not have a scan to check for any others ! I was on my own n got my diagnosis over phone in less than 5 mins , cons. Was so sure it wasn’t scc!! I’m angry n scared n as a nurse it doesn’t feel right ! I’m used to looking after others n knowing the answers ! Any advice or experience would be great , many thanls
