I had my BCC removed from the centre of my nose back in December. (NHS)

I have been applying Kelo-cote with uv protection since I have been allowed to.

whilst the scar has improved, it is still very noticeable in terms of indentation. It is very lumpy around the site, about the size of a 10p piece but slightly more oval. 

im just wondering if this is going to flatten out anymore? 

I have had no follow ups really other than one that I requested in Feb that they were going to discharge me from.

its probably going to sound really self centred but I’m only f36 and I can’t help but think it’s going to be like this forever, it’s taken a beating to my self confidence and I suppose I’m just looking for reassurance.

thank you 

  • Hi i had a bcc removed from my face in june 25. Like you mentioned my scar was very lumpy and raised.(.its the scar tissue).

    However with patience and now 14 months on the scar is now less noticeable and is less lumpy.

    My advice would be keep massaging the kelo cote. I still do now 14 months on. I had 20 stiches in my face..

    Take care
