I have two skin cancers on my calves. One was a basal cell that had been there for 5 years and looked like a wart. The other was a squamous cell in situ. I have had both removed during a biopsy and then my
Dr. followed up with a laser treatment. His margins were 4 mm. I am not sure whether I should have had to Mohs micro surgery instead. Dr. said it was overkill for my cancers. However, the recurrence rate is 5 to 10% with the laser and only 2 with Moh's. The scars are circular. One is the size of a nickel and the other a dime. I am also being treated with Carac on my chest and have had 9 moles removed that came back O.K. Just scared all the time. Has anyone used laser as a follow up for these types of cancers?
