Mohs surgery and individualized strategies maximize cure rates while preserving skin health and aesthetics.
Patients benefit from modern techniques, compassionate guidance, and long-term follow-up, giving confidence, early detection of new cancers, and lifelong skin protection.
BCC originates in the deepest epidermal layer, grows slowly but can invade skin, cartilage, or bone. Early detection ensures minimal tissue loss, preserving appearance and function while preventing aggressive complications.
Look for non-healing sores, red patches, pearly bumps, central indentations, crusting, or scar-like lesions. Regular self-exams and professional skin evaluations enable early intervention and smaller, less invasive treatments.
Fair-skinned individuals with light eyes or hair, chronic sun exposure, previous burns, radiation, or chemical exposure, and older age have heightened BCC risk. Family history further amplifies susceptibility.
Mohs surgery removes cancer layer by layer, examines each under a microscope, and spares healthy tissue. It maximizes cure rates, preserves appearance and function, and is ideal for high-risk or recurrent tumors.
While most BCCs are cured, recurrence can occur, particularly in high-risk locations or aggressive tumors. Legacy Dermatology provides personalized long-term monitoring to detect new or returning lesions early.
