However, this type of cancer can also affect areas of the skin that are not typically exposed to the sun.<\/p>\n<p>This type of cancer is usually treatable, as in some cases, the cancer can be surgically removed from the skin using modern techniques and specialized procedures to preserve the patient&#8217;s health and improve the overall appearance of their skin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Methods of Skin Cancer Removal<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are several surgical procedures for removing skin cancer, such as:<\/p>\n<p>Surgical excision: The doctor removes the cancer and a portion of the surrounding healthy skin.<br \/>\nCryotherapy: Small cancers are frozen using liquid nitrogen, causing the dead tissue to eventually slough off.<br \/>\nMohs surgery: This involves precise removal of cancerous cell layers without damaging healthy tissue.<br \/>\nCurettage and electrodesiccation: The tumor is scraped off using a special tool, and then the edges are burned to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Post-Skin Cancer Removal<\/strong><br \/>\nThe next step after removing the cancer is skin reconstruction to prevent scarring or unwanted effects in the area where the skin cancer was removed. Dr. Mutaz Al Shakhanbeh performs a cosmetic procedure involving skin grafting.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, this cosmetic procedure is performed during the surgical removal of the cancerous growth. It involves taking a patch or flap from another area of the body (often the inner thigh, arms, or buttocks) and transplanting it into the area where the growth was removed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"footer\" role=\"contentinfo\">\n<section class=\"row region region-footer\">\n<div id=\"block-complete-chain-logowithtext\" class=\"col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-12 block block-block-content block-block-contentdd78e26c-71f9-4e00-8de7-34cef7ef6d52\">\n<div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"bs-1col block-content block-content--type-basic block-content--view-mode-full\">\n<div class=\"bs-region bs-region--main\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skin cancer, or melanoma, occurs due to abnormal and uncontrolled growth of skin cells, often in sun-exposed areas of the body.
