Hi Kamela I was recently diagnosed with bcc on my nose and I also work at a high school. I had a small skin-scrape biopsy taken from the top/end of my nose. It took 2/3 weeks to fade, you can hardly notice it. Of course now I’m coming to terms with the treatment ahead of me. I’ll be having mohs surgery next month. I’m also concerned about my appearance after surgery and how long it will take to recover. This site has been extremely helpful, it’s been very encouraging to hear other people stories and how well they are doing now.
