Basil cell carsinoma
I am a 73 year old woman operated for basil cell carsinoma today on my face. They took out a growth as half a strawberry size. Plastic surgery was done.
Just wanted to know how long would it take to heal and how many times would I have to follow up with the doctor.
Please advise
