Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. When detected early, most basal cell carcinomas can be treated and cured and are not considered life-threatening.

These common noncancerous growths develop just beneath the skin. Cysts and lipomas can be removed in our office for cosmetic reasons or to reduce discomfort.
