Skin Cancer

Treatment
Early detection is the surest way to a cure. It is a simple routine to inspect your body for any skin changes - particularly anything resembling the illustrations on the Skin Cancer information page.

If any growth, mole, sore or discoloration appears suddenly or begins to change, please call for an appointment with Dr. Ellerin. It is very important to identify skin cancers early! Fortunately, skin cancers are relatively easy to detect and most can be cured. Even malignant melanoma, if caught in its early stages, can be treated successfully.

Very rarely, a cancer will grow back. In order to detect this rare event, the treated area should be checked periodically for five years. If you become concerned about the treated area or if other skin growths appear, please return to our office promptly.
