About
Common causes of skin cancer include extensive sun exposure, fair skin, advanced age, immunosuppression, family history and previous personal history of skin cancers.
Common types of cancers:
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): It typically appears as a pearly or waxy bump and is often found on sun-exposed areas.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): SCC may appear as a firm, red nodule or a flat lesion with a scaly crust. It is also commonly associated with sun exposure.
Melanoma: This is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. It can appear as a new mole or a change in an existing mole, often characterized by irregular borders and multiple colors.
Surgery is the main treatment for the majority of skin cancers. Dr Liu's office quickly processes referrals from dermatologists or family doctors and Dr. Liu typically conducts both the excision and reconstruction in a single procedure.
