I had a Squamas Cell cancer lession takin off by the Moh's surgery, I'm surprised at how it heeled .. it was better then before after using the "Bacitracin,Peroxide,bandaids every day for 5 weeks! My surgeon said im all healed but my nose looks horrible, and he said that the redness will go away eventually in time and to see him again in 3 mths and then daily routine check ups with my dermatologist! Im worried cause he told me to use this green makeup pencil by Neutagena to camaflouge it and to neutralize it.. and I can put my own makeup over it.. to tellyou the truth..(maybe im impatient and or Paronoid) it doesnt look any better and its been only 3 days, am I going crazy? Should I not wear the makeup, cause it looks like its drying it out? btw im on immunesuppresant drugs plus steroids and got a new kidney about a year ago!

You have to be patient and follow the doctor’s instructions (regular controls). The most important thing here is to cure the skin cancer; it is not about appearances.
