Do I Need Mohs Surgery Having Been Diagnosed With Basal On Back?

I recently had a biopsy taken from a spot of the upper corner of my forehead which is a squamous and a biopsy from my back which was diagnosed as a basal. I am scheduled for regular surgery to remove it, not Mohs. Should I have Mohs surgery or go as scheduled to have my dermatologist remove them? I was told there would be 2 layers of stitches.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You should go for wide excision surgery. You can go for routine surgwry with wide excision and margins should be free from tumour cells. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
