Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Management

Non-melanoma skin cancer primarily includes basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Management typically involves surgical removal of the cancerous tissue, often through procedures like Mohs surgery, which ensures complete removal while preserving healthy skin. Other options include topical creams, cryotherapy (freezing the cancer cells), or radiation therapy, depending on the cancer type and stage. Regular follow-ups are important to monitor for any recurrence. Preventive measures, such as using sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure, are crucial for reducing risk. Consulting a dermatologist is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
