Patient Guides

Clinician-written answers to the questions patients actually ask — before a diagnosis, before surgery, and during recovery. General information, in plain English, from a surgeon who does this every week.

Guides

Start here

What does skin cancer look like? — how BCC, SCC and melanoma appear, and when a spot needs checking
Recovering from skin cancer surgery — wound care, stitches, showering, exercise and scar care, week by week
Healing after Mohs surgery — from the day of your Mohs procedure through reconstruction and scar maturity
Upper blepharoplasty recovery, day by day — bruising, sutures, screens, contact lenses and getting back to work

These guides are general information, not personal medical advice — your own surgeon's instructions always take precedence. More guides are added regularly.
