My husband has a basal cell carcinoma, it is growing and bleeding quite a lot.
I pushed him to see a doctor and he was referred to a specialist, because it’s near his eye he was again referred.
The next specialist advised they would remove it and use a skin graft to cover.
His case is considered non urgent even though it’s growing and bleeding even more - his doctor sent an letter to try and expedite his operation but warned as it’s not considered urgent it will just continue to spread on his face but it is not life threatening.
This is really impacting my husbands mental health, he wears a hat wherever he goes to cover it and if he has a tour he will put a plaster on so visitors won’t see it.
How do we actually look after this BCC? I can see advice after operation but nothing on how to care for it during the meantime. Is it the same, vaseline and a plaster?
