[Personal] My journey with basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer) on my nose

Beauty Tips For Body Care
For 2 years or so I had a pimple like thing at the bottom of my nose that wouldn't go away no matter what I tried. I would always pop it and then it would come right back in the form of another pimple or just a scab or even a scabey flakey thing.Pic of said pimple/scab thing:https://i.imgur.com/8kmuYAO.jpgAfter about 6 months of having it, I went to a dermatologist and they told me it was a pimple and they gave me some cream for it, but that didn't help. It started getting worse last summer since I was out on the boat about every other day (yes, I wore sun screen) so my wife begged me to get a second opinion, so about 6 months ago I went to a different dermatologist and they did a biopsy and confirmed it was BCC and we scheduled a date for Mohs surgery.Here's what my nose looked like right after surgery:https://i.imgur.com/ig10z2t.jpgHere's my nose 2 weeks later when the stitches came out:https://i.imgur.com/C1h5y1P.jpgHere's my nose 5 months later, aka now:https://i.imgur.com/ZlxuS1N.jpgAll in all, it was a pretty unpleasant experience lol. My dermatologist who did the surgery was awesome, but I'd prefer to not have to go through that ever again.Just wanted to share some pictures, answer any questions on it, and give a PSA to wear your sunscreen!
