Skin cancer lesions

L have had numerous skin cancer lesions removed, including Bowens disease and SCC, the latest being on the dorsal part of my foot, which necessitated plastic surgery. I saw the consultant  on 2May and all seemed okay, with a three month appt., but l have now got a message to have an ultrasound in June.   Is this normal, or do l need to worry.

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I am sorry but I do not know why you need to have an ultrasound.  It may not be anything to worry about and just a routine check to make sure all is ok.  I am afraid you will need to get back in touch with your dermatology team to find out why you need to have it.

    You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
