Hi all, I recently had a punch biopsy done on the side of my nose and awaiting results (6 weeks?) although it almost certainly looks like I've got some form of basal cell carcinoma (possibly morpheaform as it looks like a scar). Hopefully I've caught...
Hi everyone, My name is Rachel, 31 yo. I had an excisional biopsy on a large lower eyelid lesion 4 weeks ago due to a slow (4 year) growing large lesion near the inner corner on my lower eyelid. Surgery went very well and I was told it would be...

Hi and thanks for reading. I'm not sure where to start, think or feel! It's all happened so quickly that i can't seem to process anything. Yesterday I had a hospital appointment and ended up having surgery there and then to remove what they said was...
