Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Skin cancers ar every slow to spread. Since you have got the growth removed, your dermatologist must have made it sure by histopathology report that all the cancerous cells have been removed from your body.
You need not worry now. A completely removed skin growth does not spread to lymph nodes and other vital organs later in life.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
