Not Mohs but I do appreciate the training and talent those that do this have. I had a big scoop taken off my neck and the damn scab that resulted drove me crazy. I can't see a scar and IDC, but it a stitch or 2 would have helped that heal faster, I would have preferred that.
Reading the explanation of Mohs it seems what the dermy did to me was more or less an all-in-one deep scoop. Why fool around? They did the biopsy after I left and he got it all. Well I guess odds were with him since it felt like he dug in a 1/4 inch. Whatever, there was no skin left so the scab was the size of a nickel and lasted 3 weeks.
With thin skin on the forehead I can see where that is not possible. Still, I'll take the stitches over a large scab.
