Skin Cancer Treatments and Prevention

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, affecting millions of people each year. It typically develops in the skin cells due to damage from UV radiation, either from the sun or tanning beds. There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, with melanoma being the most aggressive form. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, and regular skin checks are essential for spotting any suspicious moles or growths. Our dermatology specialists provide comprehensive screenings, early detection, and advanced treatment options to ensure the best outcomes for your skin health.
