What Our Patients Say

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Learn More
Who is at risk for skin cancer?

Anyone can get skin cancer, but those with fair skin, high sun exposure, or a family history are at greater risk.

How often should I have a skin check?

Most adults should have a yearly skin check. High-risk patients may need more frequent visits.

Does skin cancer always require surgery?

Not always – some early cases can be treated with topical or cryotherapy methods.

Are darker skin tones safe from skin cancer?

No – skin cancer can occur in all skin types, though it may be diagnosed later in darker skin.

Can you remove moles for cosmetic reasons?

Yes, but we first assess each mole to ensure it’s not cancerous.
