Hi,
I had a WLE in October last year..it’s now 4 months later and it hurts around the site and a bit further away from it. The scar is just over 2inches long and healing well. Is this normal? It’s on my outer thigh. Thank you

Hi Hobbitzs,
I would maybe get in touch with your GP or the specialist who performed the WLE and mention that you had a WLE excision 4 months ago and that it hurts around the site. It's great that the scar is healing well but I think you will want to make sure that this pain is to be expected 4 months on. They might also have some good suggestions to treat or alleviate this pain so if you haven't spoken to anyone about this before, I would definitely get it looked at as soon as you can.
I hope you manage to see someone soon about this and that the pain goes away.
Best wishes,

Hi Lucie,
Thank you for your advise..I will call the surgeon secretary tomorrow. I got an infection with the initial biopsy so maybe this is why it is taking so long?? Hopefully all will be ok.
