Worldwide, skin cancer is among the most prevalent types of cancer. Fortunately, it is also one of the most curable – so long as it is found early on.

In order to ensure that skin cancer spots are located and treated in a timely manner, it is important to be proactive and visit a dermatologist for routine skin checks. As the skin cancer specialist Hamilton, Trenton, and Mercer County, NJ residents trust, Kessel Dermatology uses advanced technologies to find and remove spots which are proven or suspected to be cancerous.

 

What to Expect During a Skin Cancer Screening at Kessel Dermatology

 

When you come to us for a skin exam, we will thoroughly inspect your body for suspicious spots. If we discover anything that seems abnormal, we will use one or more of the following techniques to evaluate and diagnose it:

  • Skin biopsy
  • Serial photography
  • Clinical assessment
  • Dermoscopy (a microscope used specifically to examine the skin)

Should we find a concerning growth, our staff has the ability to remove the spot right in our office. This way, you won’t need to visit another provider or face costly surgical facility fees. Generally speaking, you can expect a skin cancer removal procedure to take somewhere between 15 and 60 minutes.

 

Here are a few treatment options offered by Kessel Dermatology, the skin cancer specialist NJ relies on:

  • Excision
  • Mohs surgery
  • Topical immunomodulators
  • Curettage and electrodessication

Ultimately, the right treatment method for you will depend on the type of skin cancer as well as the size and location of the spot, your health history and your age.
