Detecting and treating basal and squamous cell carcinomas early is crucial for protecting your health. These common types of skin cancer can often be removed completely with excision or Mohs surgery, helping you heal with minimal scarring and peace of mind.

Cancer occurs when cells in the body start to duplicate uncontrollably and take over healthy cells. It are caused by skin damage, namely incurred from excessive exposure to the sun or UV rays.

Basal cell carcinoma tends to form on sections of the skin that receive the most sun exposure, including the face, neck, and scalp.
Squamous cells are found on the surface of the skin and are constantly being shed. It also forms on sun-exposed areas of the skin such as the face, neck, and scalp, as well as areas where the skin is thinner, such as the ears, lips, and the backs of the hands.
