Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a disease that can potentially be very serious. You should always check your skin for signs of new, changing moles or new unusual growths.

There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma grows slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body. Squamous cell carcinoma grows more quickly and usually spreads locally. Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer because it can grow quickly, spread to other parts of the body, and be fatal if not treated early enough.

If you have any changing moles or new skin lesions you are concerned about, do seek an early opinion from your trained dermatologist. Regular skin checks every 6-12 months are particularly important for individuals with risk factors for skin cancer, or who already had skin cancer. The earlier a skin cancer is detected the better the chances of a full recovery.

Skin Cancer Treatment

Most skin cancers can be treated successfully with surgery. In certain cases, cryosurgery or topical treatments can be used. In the case of serious skin cancers such as melanomas, you may need surgery followed by immunotherapy and long term follow up to ensure there is no recurrence.
