Your Risk Increases Over Time—Early Detection Saves Lives
Skin cancer develops when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably. The most common types are:
- Basal cell carcinoma: affects deeper skin layers
- Squamous cell carcinoma: affects upper skin layers
- Melanoma: the most aggressive form
Check your skin for:
✔ Moles larger than 6mm with uneven borders
✔ Itching, oozing, or bleeding growths
✔ Scaly, red patches that don’t heal
✔ Moles that regrow after removal
How Screenings Can Help
Dermatologists recommend skin cancer screenings every 6-12 months. Early detection improves treatment success.
If you do have skin cancer, several professional treatments are available from your dermatologist. Professional treatments include:
- Freezing cancerous tissue, known as cryosurgery
- Removing cancerous tissue, known as excision
- Removing cancerous skin layers one at a time, known as Mohs micrographic surgery
