A Little Awareness Goes a Long Way towards
Prevention.
Summer is in full swing and sun protection should be high
on your priority list. It's time to put into practice how you will care
for your skin over the long term. Skin cancer awareness and prevention
is truly a year round issue and simple steps can be taken to prevent
this protentially fatal disease.

SKIN CHECKS RECOMMENDED
The Dermatology & Clinical Skin Care
Center recommends a monthly self-check of your body and a visit to us
once a year for a “Well Skin Check”. If you have had skin
cancer previously or have had significant exposure to the sun earlier
in your life, then discuss with your doctor the best time frame for return
visits, possibly even every six months. You should schedule an
appointment to have a thorough skin examination for skin cancer if you
have any of the following:
- New or changed growth
- Family history of skin cancer
- Personal history of skin cancer
- History of blistering sunburns
- History of exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun,
tanning beds or sun lamps
- Numerous moles
- Large, asymmetrical, or unusual-looking moles
- Fair skin
- The tendency to burn and freckle rather than tan,
or
- Immunosuppressive medications

MOHS MICROGRAPHIC SURGERY
A Specialty at DermSkin
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is
a state-of-the-art treatment for skin cancer which offers the
highest potential for recovery - even if the skin cancer has
been previously treated by another method and recurred. Mohs
surgeons are able to precisely identify the tumor, remove it
with minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue, and reconstruct
the wound.
