Is there a general consensus on margins to use when treating SCCIS or BCC with ED&C?

ED and C is a procedure that is done largely by 'feel'. Tumor is generally softer and more friable than normal skin, and is therefore more susceptible to removal with moderate pressure from a semi-sharpened curette. Generally speaking, I don't obsess over margins when ED and C'ing a low-risk skin ca...

I will only curette if the basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is superficial or clearly nodular, with telangiectasia and friability. I use various-sized curettes depending on whether there are focal areas that appear deeper. I make...
