I've had a half-dozen skin cancers removed without incident or further problems. The Mohs is the go-to for basal-cell and squamous skin cancer. The only surgery-surgery I've had was for a small melanoma on my shoulder. They cut that one out in January. The incision was 5x the size of the lesion to make sure everything was gone.

Still kicking.

This runs in my family, fair-skinned Irish ancestry. Catching it early is what it's all about.
