Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, but when detected early, it is highly treatable. It develops when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably, often due to prolonged sun exposure or genetic factors. While some types grow slowly, others can spread and become life-threatening without timely treatment. At Embrace Dermatology, we provide comprehensive screenings and advanced treatment options to diagnose and manage skin cancer effectively.
Treatment
The treatment approach is tailored based on the type, size, and location of the skin cancer to ensure the best outcome.
At Embrace Dermatology, we use a precise, patient-centered approach to detect and treat skin cancer effectively. Our services include:
Thorough screening to identify abnormal moles, growths, or lesions.
A small tissue sample is examined to confirm if cancer is present.
Removing cancerous tissue with a margin of healthy skin to prevent recurrence.
A specialized technique that removes cancer layer by layer while preserving healthy skin.
Freezing early-stage cancerous or precancerous lesions for removal.
Prescription creams for certain superficial skin cancers.
Prevention
Taking these steps supports early detection and long-term skin health. While not all skin cancers can be prevented, practicing good sun protection and regular skin checks can significantly reduce the risk:
(SPF 30 or higher) to shield against UV rays.
which increase the risk of developing skin cancer.
for any new or changing spots.
to monitor skin health.
Early detection is key to effective treatment and better outcomes. If you notice a new growth, a changing mole, or a persistent sore, professional evaluation is essential. Schedule a skin cancer screening today for expert diagnosis and personalized care.
