General Practitioners

Primary Care
Signs of skin cancer: Although most skin growths are benign, any new growth on the skin or a sore that does not heal should be brought to your dermatologist’s or primary care doctor’s attention. Skin cancer has many different appearances. It may begin as a small, waxy lump that eventually bleeds and crusts; as a dry, scaly, red patch; or in several other ways. Although it may begin very small, skin cancer can grow to become very large. Skin cancer sometimes forms from a non-cancerous skin condition called actinic keratosis. These are red, rough patches of skin that develop as a result of sun damage. They are commonly found on the face, neck, or hands. If the doctor thinks that a skin growth may be cancerous, a biopsy is performed. The whole area or a sample of the area is removed surgically and sent for examination under the microscope. The biopsy is used to confirm or rule out the diagnosis of cancer and to determine the type of any cancer found.

X-Rays

Mohs Surgery
Bring a friend or relative to keep you company during the day; a good book or magazine would also be helpful. Surgery done on the face, particularly around the eyes or nose, can involve bandages or temporary muscle paralysis that may affect your vision. It is advisable to arrange to have someone bring you to and pick you up from your Mohs surgery appointment unless Dr. Dozier tells you otherwise.

Plastic Surgeons

Dermabrasion
You may experience some tightness, or drawing, as the wound heals. This is normal and usually lessens with time. Patients also commonly experience some itching after their wounds have healed. This is often relieved by rubbing a small amount of plain petroleum jelly on the scar. Frequently, tumors involve nerves, and it may take up to a year, or even two years, before normal feeling returns to an area. Sometimes the area remains numb permanently. Only time will tell. The scar tissue that grows over the wound contains many more blood vessels than the surrounding skin. This results in a red scar that may be sensitive to temperature changes. This sensitivity improves with time and the redness usually fades. If the redness persists and extra blood vessels appear at the margin of the scar, they can be decreased with VBeam laser treatment that can be performed anytime after the surgery. Rarely, scar irregularities develop that can be treated with regional Dermabrasion that is optimally performed six to eight weeks after the surgery. Otherwise, most scar revisions should be delayed for a period of six to twelve months as the scar continues to improve during this period of time.
