  schema:description "Every skin cancer operation leaves a scar, and on a face it is the part people mind most. It is at its most noticeable early on, red and raised, and it settles over months rather than weeks; the NHS says most scars fade over up to two years or more. Massage, sun protection and, if it still bothers you, skin camouflage are the things that help."@en ;
