Skin cancer checks involve thorough examinations to detect potential skin cancers, and excisions are surgical procedures performed to remove identified lesions.
These treatments are crucial for both medical and cosmetic reasons, emphasising the importance of early detection and intervention in skin cancer management.
Skin cancer checks
Skin cancer checks involve a thorough examination of the skin with a dermatoscope to identify any abnormal moles, lesions, or other signs that may indicate the presence of skin cancer.
Simple excisions for skin cancer removal
Excisions are surgical procedures performed to remove cancerous or suspicious skin lesions. This is a crucial step in treating skin cancer and preventing its spread.
Post treatment care
Keep the wound dry until sutures are removed. The time of suture removal depends on the type/location of excision.
Monitor excision site for signs of infection, such as pain, warmth, redness and pus. If any of these symptoms are present, please schedule a review consultation as soon as possible.
