What Is The Healing Period For Skin Cancer Surgical Wound?
I had skin cancer on my head about 5 weeks ago - they did moh surgery and left an open wound about the size of a 50 cent piece, then it was cauterized. I still have an opened wound but seems to be somewhat smaller - how long should it take to completely heal and should be worried?

Hi
It takes 8 weeks of time for the wound to heal completely.
Apply soframycin ointment locally over it.
