Skin Cancer

Thorough screening, early detection, and comprehensive care.

About this Service

Early detection is the most critical factor in successfully treating skin cancer. We offer comprehensive full-body skin exams to identify abnormal moles and early signs of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Our practice is equipped to provide continuous monitoring and rapid intervention when skin cancer is detected. We are committed to educating our patients on effective sun protection and self-examination techniques, empowering you to take an active role in your skin health.

When skin cancer is found, treatment can range from surgical removal to non-surgical options — comparing GentleCure and Mohs surgery can help you understand which approach may fit your diagnosis.

When to see a dermatologist

Consider scheduling an evaluation if you notice any of the following:

  • A new or changing mole, spot, or lesion (especially one that bleeds, itches, or won't heal)
  • A persistent rash, irritation, or skin condition that is not improving with over-the-counter care
  • Acne, eczema, or psoriasis that is affecting your daily life, sleep, or self-confidence
  • Sudden hair loss, new bald patches, or significant changes to your scalp or nails
  • A skin concern your primary care provider has recommended a dermatologist evaluate
