Hi all, my GP told me yesterday that the mark on my cheek looks like Basal cell carcinoma. It appeared 4 years ago and I’d assumed it was an age spot as I was approaching 40. I’m now really anxious and worried that it might be a rare melanoma because...
Hi, I’m new to this. My husband was diagnosed with low grade skin cancer on Wednesday. It’s a BCC, and that’s all the doctor said, and referred him to a plastic surgeon. There was no further information besides a leaflet about BCC (which I had already...
Hello all - I've recently been diagnosed with BCC on my scalp. I wasn't sure whether to do excision or MOHS. MOHS seems more sensible although NHS wait lists are extremely long. I've been told 1 year plus. Any recommendations on what trusts have shorter...
