Skin Cancer Removal

We train our staff at Dermatology & Skin Health in the most up to date and effective methods for removing skin cancer. We can treat a wide range of skin cancers and their various types, and we will ensure you get the best, most comprehensive care for your specific condition.

What we can treat:

• Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma typically develops on sun-exposed areas like the face and neck. It grows slowly and rarely spreads, but it requires prompt treatment to prevent long-term damage.
• Melanoma is a more aggressive form of skin cancer that can spread to other parts of the body. Early detection and treatment are vital for successful outcomes.
• Squamous cell carcinoma can grow more rapidly than basal cell carcinoma and has the potential to spread, making early treatment essential.

In addition to these conditions, we are more than equipped to treat many other types of skin cancer. No matter the diagnosis, our team is here to provide expert care, personalized treatment plans, and unwavering support during and after your skin cancer removal.

At Dermatology & Skin Health, we offer a variety of skin cancer removal treatments to effectively address the cancerous skin while preserving your health and peace of mind.

What we offer:

• Skin Checks: Regular, thorough skin examinations are essential for identifying skin care early because early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.
• Skin Cancer Biopsy: Your provider will collect a small sample of tissue for examination. This will confirm a diagnosis of skin cancer. This critical step determines if you have skin cancer as well as the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
• Cryotherapy: This minimally invasive technique uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal/atypical superficial cancer cells, particularly for early-stage or precancerous lesions.
• Electrosurgery: Also known as “curettage and electrodesiccation”, this method scrapes away cancerous cells and uses electrical currents to destroy remaining cancer—ideal for superficial cancers.
• Mohs Micrographic Surgery: A highly precise technique that removes cancer layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope until no cancer remains. This ensures the highest cure rate while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible.
• Surgical Excision: This involves removing the cancerous lesion and a margin of surrounding tissue to ensure all cancer gets eliminated. It’s particularly effective for larger or more invasive cancers off the face, neck and scalp.

Our team provides ongoing support, follow-ups, and education to help you maintain your skin health and prevent future occurrences. You’re not alone in this.

Whil you may not ever 100% know what caused your skin cancer, these are the biggest risk factors:

• Excessive sun exposure
• Tanning salon exposure
• Fair skin
• Blond or red hair color
• Blue or green eyes
• Family history
• Immune suppression
• Exposure to radiation or chemicals

The numbers tell it all. Skin cancer affects more than 1 million Americans annually, making it the most common form of human cancers.

However, there are some ways (in addition to frequent skin checks) to help prevent skin cancer further:

• Avoid excessive sun exposure, seek shade between 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
• Wear protective clothing including wide brim hat and sunglasses
• Use daily UVA/UVB sunblock SPF 30, reapply about every two hours
