Did you ever see the Doctor again regarding this? I hope so! I hope you are feeling better and healing quickly! I have had 2 MOH's surgeries on my left shin. Both at the same time. They are about 4 inches apart and both the size of silver dollars. All cancer was taken on the first go around thank goodness. I did not have a skin graft and have open wounds. I was told to keep them covered in Vaseline and the usual vinegar soaks daily. A biopsy on my right shin has proven to also need MOH's - again no stitches as no skin to stitch! Please update us on your progress. I am over this.... had a MOH's done down the side of my nose with 15 stitches so it healed well and does not look bad. It was not painful. The work done on my shin has been painful and looks like it will be a slow heal. I put the surgery off by 2 months to make it thru most of the summer. No shorths for me!!! I really worry about the infection opportunities with 2 open gaping holes in my leg and now another one soon on my other shin! I had to cancel a trip to Cambodia due to a cutting of a Basal Cell Carcinoma dip into my shin a over a year ago - could not risk the opportunity for infection per Doctor's orders. Please send your update. I would love to hear from anyone having MOH's on the shin with NO skin grafting done. Thanks for the support!
