Abigail, 27, noticed a spot on her nose that seemed to come from out of nowhere. She ignored it for a while, until she decided to have a dermatologist check. "The first dermatologist I saw just brushed it off..." she explained. But the spot was still concerning her 5-6 months later, so she went back and the biopsy showed basal cell carcinoma. That's when she was directed to Ada West Dermatology and one of Idahos' best Mohs Surgeons, Ryan Thorpe, MD, FAAD.
Dr. Thorpe spent 8 hours in surgery to eradicate the cancer on Abigail's nose and now, 7 months later, she's fully healed and you'd never know she had a significant section section of the skin off her nose removed.
We applaud Abigail for trusting her gut and getting the spot on her nose checked as well as for wearing hats and sunscreen everyday!!
