Spot (mole) checks are an essential part of proactive skin care, helping to detect potential signs of skin cancer before they become more serious. During a spot check, a dermatologist carefully examines your skin for any unusual moles, freckles, or growths that may indicate skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma. Early detection is key to successful treatment, and regular mole checks can help identify any changes in existing moles or the appearance of new ones. If necessary, a dermatologist may recommend further testing or biopsy to ensure your skin health is protected. Scheduling regular spot checks as part of your overall skin care routine can provide peace of mind and contribute to long-term skin health.

Some skin cancers are best treated with Mohs surgery because it allows dermatologists to precisely see where the cancer stops. This technique involves removing thin layers of skin one at a time and examining them under a microscope to ensure that all cancerous cells are completely excised. Mohs surgery has a high cure rate, making it one of the most effective options for treating certain types of skin cancer, particularly basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. One of the key benefits of Mohs surgery is that it helps preserve as much healthy skin as possible, minimizing scarring and promoting a faster recovery. This precision and effectiveness make Mohs surgery a preferred choice for treating skin cancers in areas where cosmetic outcomes are important, such as the face or hands.
