LESION REMOVAL

Skin cancer is the most common form of malignancy. It is increasing at an annual rate of three percent. Once it was a Sun Belt problem affecting, generally, seniors. Today our office sees over a hundred cases each year and it is not unusual for the patients to be in their thirties and forties. Indeed we have seen several young people in their twenties with this problem. Ninety percent of these tumors occur on the face. One of Dr. Truswell’s special interests is the removal of these cancers and subsequent facial reconstruction. Additionally through our skin care program, we can remove precancerous lesions and protect the skin from their future development.
