Skin cancer - bcc or scc awaiting biopsy

Worried sick, size of tumour on my face is currently 10mm diameter and has a large whitish area all around it and this itches so much all the time - is this normal ? Also given its current size I presume they can't take it all out with the biopsy as they are only planning a 4mm punch biopsy (whatever that is!) I'm trying not to go down the google hole .. 

  • Hi cockerpoo, that’s great that it’s healing well and I hope the redness does settle soon. I’ve seen people on this forum - or maybe it was the Macmillan site -  who mentioned using certain types of oil or cream to massage the scar, did your surgeon recommend anything like that?

    Mine is a small rough red place below my left eyebrow that sometimes scabs over. 

    They’ve not given me a date, no - so far I just saw a dermatologist at the hospital who said immediately it was bcc but also sent me for photos, and now next week I’ve got an appointment with plastic surgery.
