Everything looked like it was healing nicely after having a biopsy and 3 stitches. 4 weeks later it's grown back
Has this happened to anyone else if so what was your diagnosis. My GP said its grown back too quick to be BCC
Hi Kate 26 I had a punch biopsy on a basal cell near my eye, top of nose area with 2 stitches. It looked realy tiny and I had stitches out. Then 6 weeks later when I went for follow up appointment the results were a bcc and Consultant couldnt believe how it had grown in 6 weeks. I then had operation to remove it and had a skin graft. That was nearly 3 years ago and it is fine now, all healed and hardly visible. Have they said what the nbiopsy showed whether it wasa bcc or not. Have you got to go back to the hospital for results. x
