Skin Cancer
At Aislyn Dermatology, we prioritize the early detection and effective treatment of skin cancer to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. Skin cancer, caused by the abnormal growth of skin cells, is often linked to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. Common types include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, each varying in severity and treatment approaches.
During a skin cancer screening at our clinic, Dr. Aislyn Nelson conducts a comprehensive examination of your skin, looking for any unusual moles, lesions, or changes that could indicate cancer. Early detection is critical, as it significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and can prevent the cancer from spreading.
If a suspicious area is identified, we may perform a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan. Treatments for skin cancer vary based on the type and stage of the cancer and may include surgical removal, electrocautery and curettage, topical medications, or advanced options like Mohs surgery for precise removal with minimal tissue damage.
Our commitment is to provide timely compassionate care and expert guidance throughout your diagnosis and treatment journey. Protecting your skin and ensuring your health are our top priorities. If you have concerns about skin cancer or need a routine skin check, schedule an appointment with Aislyn Dermatology for a professional evaluation.
