Hi,
I had a wide local excision for lentigo maligna just under 4 weeks ago. The scar runs from under my inner eye down toward my lip, about 2 inches long. On the surface, it seems to be healing very well, but I’ve started getting very tiny bits of blood spotting from inside the top of my nostril. It’s not heavy, just small amounts on tissue now and then, but it’s been happening even after resting all day. It’s making me anxious, especially as I don’t know if it’s normal or something to worry about.
On top of that, I’m feeling extremely stressed. I’m due to go back to work next Saturday, but emotionally and physically I just don’t feel ready. I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling to get through the days. Part of me just wants to stop working altogether, it feels too much.
I’m also scared about the results. In case I need another op. Has anyone else experienced this, either the bleeding, the fear of results, or not feeling able to go back to work? How did you cope?
Thank you so much for listening.
