Skin Cancer Evaluation
Screening and treatment for skin cancer and precancerous lesions
About This Service
Early detection is crucial for successful skin cancer treatment. At Stutz Dermatology, we provide thorough skin cancer screenings and evaluate any new or changing spots on the skin. We examine moles, growths, and lesions to determine if they require biopsy or treatment. Our team also treats actinic keratosis, which are precancerous lesions caused by sun damage. We emphasize the importance of regular skin checks and sun protection.
