Skin cancer, or melanoma, occurs due to abnormal and uncontrolled growth of skin cells, often in sun-exposed areas of the body. However, this type of cancer can also affect areas of the skin that are not typically exposed to the sun.

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's health and improve the overall appearance of their skin.

Methods of Skin Cancer Removal
There are several surgical procedures for removing skin cancer, such as:

Surgical excision: The doctor removes the cancer and a portion of the surrounding healthy skin.
Cryotherapy: Small cancers are frozen using liquid nitrogen, causing the dead tissue to eventually slough off.
Mohs surgery: This involves precise removal of cancerous cell layers without damaging healthy tissue.
Curettage and electrodesiccation: The tumor is scraped off using a special tool, and then the edges are burned to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.

Post-Skin Cancer Removal
The 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 Alshakhanbah performs a cosmetic procedure involving skin grafting.

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.
