Treatment for Skin Cancer

Treatment for skin cancer depends on the size, type, depth, and location of the malignancy (group of abnormal cells). Doctors can surgically remove these groups of abnormal cells, or doctors can use other treatments like topical creams or laser therapy procedures.

Your specialist will help you decide what treatment is best for you based on your medical history and the type of skin cancer you have. 

Forehead Flap Reconstruction
