Just Prior to Mohs Surgery

This was taken just before I had the biopsy. You can see only a small scratch that was healing. The scratch (from my daughter) never healed correctly and kept coming back to an open sore.

Thank you for recording such a horrible health issue. Hopefully it will be seen by many and will make people think that the tan is not that important. I had surgery on my back a few years ago because of
malignant melanoma and I am very prepared these days with what you mentioned regarding covering.
Thank you Christine, you are a brave person.

Thank you for posting these pictures. I am 44 years old and have a little, little nose. I've been so depressed about having it cut into. You have given me hope and courage, thank you! Now I know that if they decide to do a skin graph then it will be ok. I've been so worried about it. God bless you and I pray that you are well. :)
