BASAL CELL CARCINOMA

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer. Basal cells reside in the deepest layer of the epidermis.  When a person is overexposed to UV radiation, it damages the body's natural repair system, which causes basal cell carcinomas to grow. These tend to be slow-growing tumors and rarely metastasize (spread). 

Our board certified dermatologists and providers here at Integrated Dermatology are experts in the field of dermatology.  We are specialists that are trained to help detect, diagnose, prevent, and treat skin cancer.  Our physicians and providers conduct complete skin exams to detect and treat all types of suspicious skin lesions. The complete body exam is an extensive but efficient examination of your skin from your scalp down to your toes. We recommend an annual skin cancer screening, along with more frequent screenings for those that have been diagnosed with skin cancer in the past. During your appointment, our expert providers will educate you on surveillance, signs/symptoms to look for, and the actions to take for prevention.
