Q: Is vitamin E not a good thing to use on a nose scar from removal of BBC. What is a good thing to use to help the healing on the nose
Hi Janet
Are you saying that you had Mohs surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma from your nose?
Have you been in touch with your doctor about after surgery care? Your doctor is the best person to ask this question so you can heal properly.
You may want to read my article entitled, The Healing Process After Mohs Surgery to find out more details of what you can expect.
Here is another article to read by Dr. Kevin Berman about what you can do to heal after surgery.
Here is another website with a personal account of the healing process after Mohs surgery.
Your best bet, however, is to call your doctor for information about what you can do for your skin to help the healing process.
Thank you for your question.
