The team is also highly trained in analysis, treatment, and removal of moles and other lesions, including melanoma and other skin cancer treatments.
Most moles develop during childhood or early adulthood. If you develop a new mole, it’s best to get it checked out promptly.
Also, look for any obvious changes in your existing moles, and if you notice any of the following symptoms, make an appointment for a skin exam at The Heart and Medical Center and Urgent Care as soon as possible.
The changes above can be signs of melanoma, the most invasive and deadliest kind of skin cancer.
Although you probably know that moles can be a sign of skin cancer, you might not know that other skin lesions are sometimes cancerous, too. If you get new skin lesions of any type, it’s always best to have them checked out soon.
Actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin growth, can appear as a scaly, rough skin patch that’s either flat or slightly raised. Color can range from light brown to pink or red. Non-melanoma skin cancers like squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma can present as new sores, bumps, nodules, or nearly any other kind of skin change.
It depends on the specific skin disorder and your symptoms. The Heart and Medical Center and Urgent Care always tailors treatment for the condition. Some of the many treatment options can include:
A mole or lesion removal often includes skin biopsy to check for cancer.
