SERVICES - Skin Cancer

Skin cancer appears most frequently on sun exposed parts of the body, i.e., the face, neck, scalp, hands, shoulders, arms and back. The ear and lower lip are also especially vulnerable. Diagnosis of skin lesions usually requires a biopsy. This involves removing a piece of the affected tissue, with examination under a microscope. If a tumor is present, definitive treatment is necessary and can include excisional surgery under a local anesthesia or cryosurgery.
