Patient guides
Short pathways for common questions before and after biopsy, surgery, Mohs and reconstruction.
From suspicion to long-term outcome
When not to wait and what information to bring.
Skin biopsy →Medication, anticoagulation, allergies and what the biopsy should answer.
Read →What is expected early, how healing changes, and when to contact the team.
Postoperative guide →Scar, new skin cancers, regional nodes and risk-adapted imaging.
Follow-up guide →Shade, clothing, no tanning beds, sunscreen and scar protection.
Sun-protection guide →Scar review, new skin tumours and risk of further lesions.
BCC →Scar, regional nodes and risk-adapted imaging, especially in the first years.
cSCC →Do not rush into repeat surgery before expert pathology review and appropriate staging.
Rare skin tumours →Type, invasion, margins, PNI/LVI and when expert review matters.
Read the report →BCC, cSCC and Merkel have very different nodal-staging pathways.
Lymph-node guide →About once a month, calmly inspect your skin and surgical scar and note any new or persistently changing lesion; a mirror or photographs can help with hard-to-see areas.
How to organise follow-up →When not to wait for the next routine visit
These findings do not automatically mean recurrence or a complication, but they should not simply be deferred until the next scheduled appointment.
