Types
Types of Skin Cancer We Treat at SoCal Skin and Surgery
Skin cancer can take different forms, and recognizing the signs early is critical for effective treatment. If you notice a new, changing, or unusual skin growth, it’s important to have it checked by a dermatologist as soon as possible.
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.
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.
