My mom has had twice moh's surgery on the same spot on her face for SCC (Squamous cell cancer) last year. Actually we know the cancer never stopped growing because the rough growth came back right away after the surgery healed every time. Two weeks ago the biopsy confirmed still SCC. My mom was giving two options for treatment: moh's and cream. But we're not sure what would be the best for her situation. Please advise me what to do, any treatment suggestion? Sharing of cream treatment for SCC? Sharing about your same experience with more than one moh's on the same spot for a short time... Thank you so much.

Did your mom have plastic surgery after Moh's?

I had MOH surgery about six months ago - on scalp - about quarter in size - have to go back and get dime size removed - that is another story 
- but I see folks talking about creams - and what is the purpose of those creams - or are they to be used only in specific areas, or specific purposes??

The creams are to heal the cancer in place of surgery, or maybe just reduce tumor size.
