Skin Cancer and Surgery

Actinic keratoses are precancerous skin growths caused by sun exposure over time. A dermatologist can treat them before they develop into skin cancer.

Basal cell carcinoma typically appears as a slow-growing fleshy bump or non-healing nodule on sun-exposed areas.

Squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common type of skin cancer, often presents as a scaly, red patch of skin.

Melanoma is the rarest and most dangerous form of skin cancer, but even it can be cured if detected in the early stages.
