Hello, I had a small op yesterday to remove a large lesion on my forehead. It started growing around 8 weeks ago, rapidly, I was shocked because it came from no where after being poorly with Shingles. The dermatologist has a concern for Merkle Cell carcinoma. The hospital were amazing and very kind. I also have a small one on my thigh they removed. I’m trying not to be vain, but as it’s on my forehead, at work people have made lots of comments prior to surgery. It was so glaring, like a bright red nose. This morning I have 10 stitches across my head and I’m in shock and it’s very sore. I’m 54 female. They have said it’s BCC if not Merkle or another one AFX.
