Hi, I had a 4mm x 4mm punch biopsy on the tip of my nose at the beginning of this month. It was left to heal by secondary intention. On my week 3 appointment for wound check the nurse said a scab had formed so to leave the dressing off but keep it moist with Vaseline. It’s now nearly 4 weeks & I can see, as the scab is very pliable, that there is a very deep ‘hole’ beneath the scab. Is this normal?
I had a telephone appointment with a consultant on Wed and it is a nodular & infiltrating BCC so is booking me in for excision which will be in around 3 months. I asked about Moh’s surgery but he just said no but you can have radiation if you want!
I’m not happy as I believe this is the gold standard so thinking of going to see a private dermatologist for advice.
I'm not surprised how long the wait would be if you had it done on the NHS Doglover07 as even in 'normal' times there's a very long wait.
Do come back and let us all know how it goes.
