Your spots will be cured, but you will have some scarring. Please reduce sun exposure with clothing, sunscreen, and avoidance of midday exposure if possible. You will need follow up probably at least every 6 months after your current cancers are cured as your risk of additional skin cancers is increased over normal.

Is it safe to use face masks if I have had skin cancer on my face in the past?

Yes, totally safe. Use sunscreen on the uncovered parts.

What can I do to protect my skin during chemotherapy?

Just use moisturizers. Avoid trauma (goes without saying).

Do I require medication for treating eczema?

If eczema is very mild, just moisturizers will help. If more severe, needs medications. A dermatologist is recommended.
