Types of Skin Cancer

What We Treat

Dr. Rotter is trained to diagnose and treat all major forms of skin cancer, from the most common to the most complex.

■

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)

The most common form of skin cancer. Rarely spreads but can cause significant local destruction if untreated. Highly curable with Mohs surgery. Often appears as a pearly bump or pinkish patch on sun-exposed skin.

◆

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

The second most common skin cancer. Can spread to lymph nodes or other organs if left untreated. Often appears as a scaly red patch, open sore, or wart-like growth on sun-exposed areas.

△

Melanoma

The most dangerous form of skin cancer due to its ability to spread rapidly. Early detection is critical. Dr. Rotter is trained in melanoma diagnosis, excision, and surgical management.

Early Detection

Know Your ABCDE's

The ABCDE rule is the standard guide for identifying warning signs of melanoma and other skin cancers. If you notice any of these signs on a mole or skin lesion, schedule an evaluation at Exclusive Dermatology immediately.

Asymmetry

One half of the mole doesn't match the other half in shape.

Border

Irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred edges.

Color

Variation in color — shades of brown, black, red, white, or blue.

Diameter

Larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser), though melanomas can be smaller.

Evolving

Any change in size, shape, color, or a new symptom such as bleeding or itching.
