Although skin cancer is common, most types of skin cancer are very responsive to skin cancer treatment in Reno NV. If you have recently received a skin cancer diagnosis or even just noticed some suspicious changes in your skin, don’t panic. It is highly likely Dr Gross can provide a successful treatment.

Signs of Skin Cancer

When it comes to detecting skin cancer, it is better to be safe than sorry. In other words, it is better to have your dermatologist investigate any and every suspicious skin change, even if none of them turn out to be cancerous, rather than let one single cancerous spot or mole slip by undetected. Here are some of the key signs of skin cancer to watch out for:

Dome-shaped pearly bumps
Red, scaly skin
Tender red or skin-colored nodules
Asymmetrical moles
Unusual colors
Spots larger than the tip of a pencil eraser
Bleeding, itching, or crusting
Sores that don’t heal normally
Changes in any of the above

If any of these issues are confirmed as skin cancer, Dr Gross can then provide skin cancer treatment in Reno NV appropriate for the type and development of the cancer in question.

Options for Skin Cancer Treatment in Reno NV

The most common skin cancer treatment in Reno NV is an excision. We remove the cancerous cells along with a small amount of the surrounding healthy tissue in order to halt the spread of the cancer. If you have a carcinoma, you may be able to benefit from Mohs surgery technology, which provides an extremely targeted excision, limiting the amount of healthy tissue that is removed. For other types of skin cancer or for very advanced carcinomas, additional treatments such as chemotherapy may also be required.
