I had a basal cell on my cheek. After it was cut out, I had a huge piece of gauze over half of my face! Quite a shock I must say. I was told I had cancer one week and then due to a cancellation, I had my cancer removed less than a week later!
I never even liked being out in the sun! So you can do this. You will have to redress it every day but that can be done too. Best wishes.
