Several years ago my husband had a basal cell spot on the top of his ear too, which looked like a tiny blister. He had the MOHS procedure, and his ear looked perfectly normal after, with no further problems.

I'm sure you're going to be fine. Basal cell carcinoma is very easily treatable, and I'm glad it isn't melanoma which can be more serious as it travels.

Hugs to you.
Thanks Sandy for your positive comments. Don't you just love those head to toe exams?

That is exactly what my ear looks like - a little blister that won't go away. I am calling it the slice and bake/eradicate surgery.
