Everybody hates this part of it. That is why we take all means possible to help you. We give all necessary information as well as any extra information you want. You have great choices of day and time. We play (usually) soothing music during the procedure. We neutralise the acid in the local anaesthetic and use fine needles. We inject into fat first so it doesn’t hurt as much. Removing the skin cancer is the number one priority and producing a good cosmetic result is number two.
Detection of a skin cancer is by a patient identifying a suspicious lesion or a Doctor noticing an incidental lesion or by a full skin check. In a full skin check the best way of screening is with a magnifying lamp. This makes features of border irregularity, lack of symmetry, abnormal surface texture and pigment variation stand out. Types Of Skin Cancer Basal Cell CarcinomaAbout two thirds of all skin cancers are basal cell carcinomas (also called basal cell cancers). Basal cell cancers usually develop on areas exposed to the sun, especially the head and neck.
Ulcerated Basal Cell CarcinomaOver time, the top layer skin may begin to break down. This is called ulceration. Ulceration causes the centre of the lesion to collapse. Squamous Cell CarcinomaAbout one third of all skin cancers are squamous cell. Squamous cell skin cancers tend to grow slowly and can almost always be cured if found early. MelanomaMelanoma is much less common than basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers and makes up about 1% of skin cancers but is by far the most dangerous.
