Advice BCC

  1. I have just been dianosed with BCC which i thought was a sore at the side of my nose but sort of under my eye. The strange thing was that 18 months ago a piece of sharded glass hit this area and i went to hosp to check nothing was under the skin as it felt prickly when i touched it, they ultrasounded it and assured me no foreign object there. However the sore i thought was from that tiny shard of glass looked like a little scar healing. Its all very strange.Ive seen a  dr from maxillofacial who said he will remove the BCC and move skin around to cover the bit where its removed.. Ive ended up seeing him privately as nhs dont see it as urgent.
  2. Im so worried and scared of the surgery and how bad it will leave  a scar, has anyone had similar and can advise me please.
  3. Thank you

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your situation and appreciate how the thought of any surgery can be a worry.

    I'm glad others on here have posted their experiences with you and hope this can put your mind a little at ease.

    I hope it all goes well but do ask the specialist doctor treating you any further questions you still may have about the op, just so you go in for the procedure fully aware of what is going to take place.

    Do get back if you have further questions or if you would like to talk with one of the nurses. Our number is 0808 800 4040 and we're here weekdays 9-5.

    Best wishes
