Pre cancerous cells in nose

2 Replies

Following numbness and tingling at the end of my nose plus redness and scabbing over etc, a referral.was made to see dermatologist. The consultant saw me less than 3 weeks later.

He confirmed I had pre cancerous cells in my nose and used liquid nitrogen twice to freeze off the layers.

Three weeks later, I still feel a different sensation on side of nose and module and slight redness still visible.

I have appointment next month with consultant again but feel more treatment will be needed.

Anyone else on here had similar experience/symptoms ?

It does take some time to clear up completely, I had one zapped with liquid nitrogen and it took months for it to go completely, it kept bleeding for a while, I dabbed some aloe vera on it here and there which seemed to help, skin is very sensitive on the face area..
