Basal Cell Removal - Location Top Of Forehead At Hairline!

Had my second skin cancer removed, a Basal Cell at the hairline on my forehead!  Again, the procedure used was Moh's Surgery - length of surgery was about 5 hours.

The method again takes you in, removes a section, sends the removed skin to be analyzed, and repeats until all cancer is gone.  I went back twice for skin removal & the third time to repair the surgical area.

Since the area was on the forehead, the doctor took a lot of time to repair the damaged skin.  The closing of the wound lasted about 15-20 minutes.

After 24 hours, I removed the bandage & cleaned the wound and took a shower.  The stitches were in the shape of an up-side-down letter "T".  Each line, about an inch & a half in length.

The day was spent keeping a cold compress on the wound to keep the swelling down.. The pain was a dull headache.  I took 2 aspirin every 3-4 hours.

Here is what I look like 24 hours after surgery.
