      The area around the incision is a bit angry looking and my husband body  feels like he has the flu. I'm planning on calling the surgeon tomorrow if my husband doesn't feel better tomorrow. I just read if  a fever develops after 48 hours post op it most likely is infection. The incision is along his jawline. Thanks for responding Jenn

      Sorry for the lack of recommended treatment you have received. If I were you I would demand the WLE and you can show the surgeon the melanoma or cancer association recommendations for your cancer.

      Thanks Janner. The spitzoid was removed from our son. My husband having a WLE of melanoma in a few weeks. Praise God our son went for a skin check and advised my husband to also go to a dermatologist. They both are fair skinned.

      Thanks for the input from all that replied. I'm concerned that possibility the wrong area was removed with the WLE. Absolutely no evidence of previous biopsy site seen. No scar seen on biopsy. Does this sound odd to anyone?
