At Erwin Dermatology, we couldn’t be prouder to offer skin cancer diagnosis and treatment to the residents of Victoria and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a simple skin check or you have skin cancer and are looking for an effective treatment, we’re here for you every step of the way.
What is Skin Cancer?
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that starts as a growth of abnormal cells on the skin. If left untreated, the cells can invade and destroy healthy tissue. While there can be many causes of skin cancer, it most often develops on skin that has been exposed to the harmful rays of the sun.
There are also several different kinds of skin cancer, but the three most common types include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. These all have cures, but the extent of the treatment can depend on how much the cancer has developed and advanced.
At Erwin Dermatology, Dr Erwin and her team pride themselves on offering compassionate and personalized care to each and every skin cancer patient who walks through our doors. We understand it can be scary to have your skin checked, especially if you have a spot you’re worried about. We will do everything we can to ensure you are comfortable and receive the treatment you need.
Who is a Candidate for Skin Cancer Treatment?
Anyone who has been diagnosed with skin cancer is a good candidate for skin cancer treatment. That said, the type of treatment you receive can depend on the type of skin cancer you have and how advanced it is. That said, early detection is key, which is why skin exams are so important. Regular skin checks can ensure we detect cancer as soon as possible and can start treatment quickly and efficiently.
