White cancerous spot in face needs removal,   it´s a repeat  procedure

 

Where did you have it done?

The English name for this is basal cell carcinoma. It is the least deadly form of skin cancer and if caught early can be easily treated.  Chiang Mai Ram hospital has a well-regarded dermatology department.  I know many who have procedures like this done at CM Ram hospital. 

Have you had a biopsy that conforms it's basal-cell ?

 

I posted on my good experience with having a squamous-cell skin tumor removed byDr. Somboon (senior plastic surgeon) last year: Dr. Somboon ... I also found Rajivej Hospital, and its service, very good.

I had Mohs surgery in the US with very good results. This is used to treat both BCC and SCC mentioned in the previous posts. Has anyone had this procedure performed here in Chiang Mai?

 

My mom who is 88 in the US was recently diagnosed with BCC on her nose and was given a choice of surgery, chemo, and radiation. She opted for radiation which was 11 treatments over about a month. The results were excellent. She chose this as she was told with surgery her nose would have to be reconstructed and that chemo had bad side effects.

 

I did not understand why they mentioned the chemo side effects as with BCC and SCC they usually perform topical chemotherapy as opposed to systemic chemotherapy except in advanced cases.

No biopsy this time. Before when 1st spot occurred, yes. Was iced. Recurring now.
Will have another biopsy done.
W'll keep Dr. Somboon in mind
Good recommendation !

Some 6 years ago the treatment at RAM was done with icing. Last year at
Ratchavej with tiny injections. Any view which method may be more permanent? The facial spot is just a bit more rough than the surrounding skin.

Seems you have yet to have a Doctor look at it this time.  That would be the first step.  First time biopsy was positive or negative?  Guessing negative since it was frozen.  Positive usually goes to surgery, seems to me.  

Dr Vachiriporn, Ram did a good job for me.  Small excision & checkups since.
