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.
With Best Wishes,
