Our Dermatology Services
  • Our board certified skin experts will happily look for, find, and treat suspicious dark spots or moles on the skin to eliminate the potential for skin cancers before they evolve and to treat existing spots before they have the chance to become more serious. If we find removal to be in your best interest, be assured that your skin cancer surgery will be quick, with little to no discomfort, and typically with little recovery time.

  • Skin cancer is by far the most common type of cancer, but it is also among the most preventable through diligent use of broad spectrum sunscreen and avoidance of tanning beds and excessive UV rays.

  • For those at higher risk of skin cancer, choosing the right place for screenings is crucial. In Ponchatoula, LA, Benson Dermatology offers expert screenings by board-certified dermatologists, prioritizing optimal skin health and early detection.
