Skin cancer is the most prevalent of all types of cancers. Fair-skinned people who sunburn easily are at higher risk for developing skin cancer. The three types of skin cancers are Basal Cell Carcinoma (the most common), Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma (the most aggressive).
At Roseville Dermatology, we recommend and perform full body skin exams for all of our patients. Patients with a history of skin cancer should have complete skin exams regularly by a dermatologist and report any changes in moles or lesions. Fortunately, skin cancer is treatable if caught early. Treatment depends on the type of cancer, its location, and the needs of the individual.
- Surgical excision
- Curettage & Electrodessication (C&D, “scraping and burning”)
- Mohs surgery
