What happens when there's a reoccurence on the scar? Does this change treatment? Do the new spots have to be cancer? I'm pretty frightened because of the risk of it showing up in other places.
Any guidence would be appreciated - thanks!
I am sorry to hear this has you concerned. Hopefully you can get in to see your dermatologist and have this evaluated.
