So I went for a private skin check by a specialist nurse who suspected bcc on my nose she took a picture and send it to a dermotogist who said primary diagnose bcc. I went through nhs and saw a dermatologist today who spent a good 20min looking at it and around it with his dermocope and he told me that he don’t see any vessels and he thinks it’s unlikely to be a bcc but because I went privately and they suspected his like to cover my back Il refer you for a biopsy and it’s up To you if you want to cancel it or not. He was a lead consultant and saw me in person whereas private was just from a picture now my question is he told me he would use a shave biopsy but looking on my Notes it says scoop biopsy. So I’m really in 2 minds about having it done? I’m worried about causing more damamge and scarring especially because it’s on my nose for it to all be fine or by not doing it and then it turns out it is.
had anyone had one removed on their nose his noted it 2mmx2mm and drew around it with a pen but whether outline was a lot bigger than my actual spot. Any advice would be appreciated?
