      Hello!

      I had a WLE for a stage 1a lesion on my right lower calf on 07/27- 1cm margins with skin graft. I’m just wondering if you can give me any insight into how quickly I should expect it to heal?

      Right now it pretty much looks the same as a week ago when they took the boot and wound vac off. It looks less like skin and more like flesh. There is no sign of infection but I’m a little worried the graft isn’t taking since there is a pocket of blood in part of it.

      I messaged my surgeon but it will take a day or two for him to get back to me. I’m cool with that since I’m not sure there’s too much to do about it right now.

      Any input from those who have had a WLE with skin graft?

      Thank you!

          I had a skin graft from a previous incident other than melanoma. I remember pink and rosy fleshy look is good.
