Types

Types of Skin Cancer We Treat at SoCal Skin & Surgery

Skin cancer can take different forms, and recognizing the signs early is critical for effective treatment.

  • Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) – The most common type, often appearing as a pearly or waxy bump.
  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) – May present as a red, scaly patch or firm lump.
  • Melanoma – The most serious form of skin cancer, often identified by an irregular or changing mole.
  • Actinic Keratosis (Precancerous Lesions) – Rough, scaly patches that can develop into SCC if untreated.

If you notice a new, changing, or unusual skin growth, it’s important to have it checked by a dermatologist as soon as possible.

Detection & Diagnosis

Skin Cancer Detection & Diagnosis

Our dermatologists use state-of-the-art screening methods to ensure early and accurate diagnosis.

Full-Body Skin Exams

  • Comprehensive screenings to detect suspicious moles, lesions, or growths.
  • Recommended annually for those at higher risk or with a history of skin cancer.

Dermoscopy & Biopsy

  • Dermoscopy – A non-invasive magnification tool used to assess skin abnormalities.
  • Skin Biopsy – If a lesion appears suspicious, a small sample is taken for further evaluation to confirm or rule out cancer.
