I am not sure why the scars are so large either but I will tell you they do fade and it should look better in about 8 mos. I have had two mohs prcedures on my eye brow and my scars are 5 times larger then the actual bc that was removed. I know the dr can not close a circle w/o creating lines but I am still not sure why they are so large!!

Hi, had a small mole, size of a deer tick come up on hte back of my left leg. I actually thought I had a tick on my leg. Turned out to be melanoma. Was sent to emory for the mohs, I now have a 7 inch scar to show the world! They have to go downward to dig out tissue to check to see if cancer cells may have spread, then have to seal hte punched hole, this was how it was explained to me. And since there was no body fat, the skin had to stretched to in order to cover the circle cut out. Also have a 3 inch incision from having lymph nodes removed.....My scar has faded some, but it still ugly, I justremind myself, hey, i'm still here and I still have my leg! Hope i've helped some!

I had Moh surgery on my lower lip one year ago. The site now has four to five small bumps under the skin at the surgery site. Quite small but determined. My dermatologist said "not to worry." I am worried. Advise please.
