Dermatologic Surgery - Conditions We Treat
Actinic keratosis (AK), or solar keratosis, is a common skin growth that represents the earliest stage in the development of skin cancer.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the world’s most common skin cancer and most commonly form on the head, neck, chest, back, arms, and legs.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is the 2nd most common skin cancer and may appear as rough, crusted or scaling growths over a red, inflamed base. SCCs may also bleed or present as flat white patches on the lips or inside the mouth.
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin cancers and can quickly spread to vital organs in the body so close monitoring for the development of abnormal moles and other signs of melanoma is essential.
