Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is among the most common of all cancers diagnosed worldwide, with Basal Cell Carcinoma being the most common.

Other forms of skin cancer include Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Melanoma, Merkel Cell Carcinoma, and a variety of other less common soft tissue cancers.  Cumulative sun exposure, history of blistering sunburns, tanning bed use, and skin type are common risk factors for skin cancer.  Your dermatologist can evaluate, diagnose, and treat skin cancer.  Whether you have a specific growth / lesion that is new or changing, or whether you need a full body skin cancer screening, your board-certified dermatologist is the expert in identifying and treating lesions of concern.
