Skin Cancer

There are three major types of skin cancer: basal cell cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Each of these skin cancers is primarily caused by too much exposure to the sun, but genetics may also play a role in increasing your risk for skin cancer.

Skin diseases and cancers are most effectively diagnosed through a biopsy that can be performed in our office and sent to a specialist or lab. For early-stage skin cancers, a biopsy or the surgical removal of the affected area can stop cancer from spreading.

Mohs Surgey (Basal Cell Cancer)

Also known as basal cell carcinoma, basal cell cancer (BCC) begins in the basal cells and is one of the most common types of skin cancer, affecting more than three million people every year. Basal cell cancer develops in areas of the skin such as the hands, forearms, neck, and forehead that have been unprotected and exposed to too much sun over the years.

Generally speaking, this type of cancer does not metastasize, but of course, treatment is encouraged as the infection can spread deeper into your skin as time goes on.
