Home  again. All went well.
It's a little disorienting to have a large patch  completely over my ear.
That stays on for 2 days to make sure the bleeding  stops.>>>>>>>>>>
 
 
Nice to hear.  The ears are very forgiving of trauma/surgery, and heal  
usually
remarkably well.
 
I don't recall the diagnosis here.  Basal cell carcinomas on the ear  
usually
take a rather slow gradual progression, and besides the Moh's  Microscopic
Surgery which is the Cadillac of treatments, there are freezing with  liquid
nitrogen, and there is even a topical cream (3-M's Aldara) that does  well
with some cancers.
 
Squamous cell carcinoma is much more dangerous, and usually requires
one of the surgical modalities.
