Basal cell
Hi, a relation had a large basal cell removed from her forehead a the end of November. The patch is still on the remains - when should it be removed to be checked? Thanks

Re: Basal cell
Dear Jane,
Thank you for your question, Usually postoperative checks are about 1 or 2 weeks after a procedure but it varies ands may depend on if there was a flap or a graft performed. It would be best to contact the surgeon, who did the procedure, about this.
I hope this is helpful.
