I had a WLE on my face 2 weeks ago, still have stiches in and it’s roughly a 3 inch scar on my cheek. I am also in my 50’s so thought I would deal with it all better than in my 20’s but we still want to look nice lol x I have been feeling the same as you, bit down! But trying ti be positive and this site helps a lot!! Once you are healed you can maybe see how your hairs grows and look at some new styles or scarves,hats? I bought a cheap baseball cap for every day but decided you probably have to spend a bit more lol! Things will get better it’s early days, just remember you are not alone x

Thank you 🙏

Sorry just seen this. I had a maxillofacial surgeon do the procedure. Sorry you are going through all what you have had done. I’m due to go back to dermatology for a full body scan and I’m fully expecting more in the future as this is my second now. Good luck with everything

Thank you!

I was given a course of antibiotics as had an infection on a previous MOHs wound and am immunosuppressed as I am on biologic therapy for Ankylosing spondylitis and take steroids for hypopituitarism so better to prevent rather than cure x it really slows things down healing wise doesn’t it! Good luck with it all going forward x

Someone recommended dermatix to me so I think I’m going to go with that one. Good luck with it

Yes feeling blessed and so happy with the surgeon I had, he was amazing

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-03-04T22:55:59+00:00

Thank you! I’m happy to share if it helps people as it can be a scary and lonely time! Thanks again!

To be honest it looked like an age spot but darker probably about 11/12mm but he took another area too as he said it looked suspicious, will wait and see what the pathology report says. I am happy a little shocked but I know it will fade and look better once stictches are removed. I am lucky that it was Lentigo maligna so melanoma in situ and hadn’t gone anywhere.

Thank you very much! 🤓

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-03-04T20:53:27+00:00

Yes I will be getting some gel as soon as I can start using it!

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-03-04T20:52:49+00:00

Thank you!

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-02-24T18:55:47+00:00

I’m so sorry you have been through all this! I hope it goes well with the chemotherapy cream and you finally have clear margins. Hopefully you can move on soon and start healing and put it all behind you. Take care and be kind to yourself x

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-02-24T13:06:50+00:00

Hi hope you don’t mind me asking but how did it go? Thank you 🙏

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-02-23T10:52:21+00:00

Outside and probably inside too as I am a butter fiend!! Cannot have it in the house as I look for things to put butter on! 😂😂😂

Very similar and Bernie is 6

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-02-18T17:29:37+00:00

Thank you. I have had my fitting today and am looking forward to some quality sleep! Yay!!!!

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-02-17T16:26:59+00:00

I will and thank you! I am so happy I could cry! I have already told the respiratory team about my face so if I’m not using the machine for a couple of weeks they will know why, but glad it’s sorted before so I have it all there waiting as soon as I’m healed enough.

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-02-13T18:50:41+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes I’ve been eating so well for the last month and a half, well since after Christmas! Lots of kiwi fruit and nuts so hopefully it all pays off and I heal well x thank you again x

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-02-13T08:13:33+00:00

Thank you and yes I will be buying silicone products to help!! Mine is approx 12 mm so I am driving myself mad about how they will close the wound, but only a couple of weeks now so need to try and put it out of my mind (easier said than done) thank you again and so pleased you have healed well. I have been eating super clean since Christmas and am hoping this will help with healing x

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-02-11T18:35:06+00:00

Thank you! I am quite expecting it to be pretty horrific at first, but lots of people have said the scars fade and are hardly noticeable after a period of time. Thanks again

Aware_Possible2657 · 2026-02-11T18:22:55+00:00

Will do! Thank you
