You should make an appointment with your dermatologist whenever you’re looking to resolve skin conditions. Surgical dermatology is used in response to skin cancer that’s found during a normal skin cancer screening, which should be done annually or every 6 months if you have a history of skin cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions
The best way to tell if a skin growth is a health concern is to consult your dermatologist. If you can’t do that immediately, though, it’s vital to familiarize yourself with your skin and your pattern of moles, freckles, and beauty marks. Make sure to look at your entire body every month or two. Watch for changes in pigmented areas’ number, size, shape, and color.
After skin surgery, you can expect a swift and straightforward recovery. Most patients find they can return to work and resume their normal activities soon after their procedure. It’s important to follow any specific post-operative care instructions your dermatologist provides to ensure a smooth recovery process.
