Summit Dermatology and Spa

Skin cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the outermost skin layer. Left untreated, skin cancer has the potential to cause deformation, disability, or even death. Our approach is to identify the cancer, remove it with minimal injury to surrounding skin or tissue, and repair the area with minimal to no visible scaring. There are three main types of skin cancer. Melanoma Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that ~ 100,000 people will be diagnosed with melanoma this year, and 8,000 people will die of melanoma within the upcoming year. Melanoma may resemble a mole, arise from a mole, and can appear anywhere on the body (even areas that are not typically exposed to sun). Sun exposure, genetic traits, and tanning beds increase the risk of melanoma. Fortunately, melanoma is often curable if it is caught early and treated promptly. Our team specializes in melanoma diagnosis and treatment. If you or a family member have a history of melanoma, it is critical to be checked for melanoma. A skin check with one of our skin cancer experts can literally save your life, so do not delay in getting suspicious skin lesions evaluated Basal Cell Carcinoma Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. It is most commonly caused by UV radiation from the sun. If not treated appropriately, it can cause severe facial disfigurement, loss of vital structures (eye, nose, ear) and in rare severe cases, death. These cancers are most commonly found on the face and body that receive the most sun: nose, cheeks, forehead, ears, neck, shoulders and upper chest and back. This form of cancer can be treated with various surgical and non-surgical methods, depending on the anatomic location, tumor pathology, and other specific features of your cancer. Our team specializes in all forms of skin cancer treatment, including Mohs Surgery, which provides the highest possible cure rate (>99%) for BCC. Squamous Cell Carcinoma Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is most commonly found on sun-exposed areas of the body. Like basal cell carcinoma, SCC is mostly caused by exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds. If treated promptly, SCC is rarely fatal. However, if not diagnosed and treated early, SCC may metastasize to internal organs, including the lungs and brain, and cause death. These cancers also may cause disfigurement, including loss of the eye, ears, or nose. SCC is most commonly treated with surgery to ensure complete removal. Our team specializes in all forms of skin cancer treatment, including Mohs Surgery, which provides the highest possible cure rate (>99%) for SCC. Top Rated Mohs Surgery Center of Pensacola Mohs surgery is an advanced treatment procedure for skin cancer that offers up to 99% success rate and conserves the most tissue around the cancer lesion. Mohs surgery is an outpatient procedure that is done in stages, all in one visit. Summit Dermatology and Spa specializes in providing this highly specialized and precise surgical technique for the removal of skin cancer, ensuring the highest cure rates while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Mohs micrographic surgery is considered the most effective treatment for certain types of skin cancer. Our skilled and experienced Mohs surgeon, Dr. Chavan, is dedicated to providing you with the best possible outcome, combining meticulous surgical skills with a compassionate approach. Advantages of Mohs surgery at Summit Dermatology and Spa Comprehensive Skin Cancer Evaluation: Our experienced dermatologists will carefully evaluate your skin cancer and determine if Mohs surgery is the appropriate treatment for you. We will assess the type, location, size, and characteristics of the lesion to develop a personalized treatment plan. Mohs Micrographic Surgery: Mohs surgery involves the systematic removal of skin cancer layer by layer, immediately examining the tissue under a microscope to ensure complete removal while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. This process continues until no cancer cells remain, resulting in the highest cure rates and maximum preservation of healthy skin. Surgical Reconstruction: After the skin cancer is completely removed, our skilled surgeons specialize in reconstructive techniques to restore the aesthetics and functionality of the treated area. We strive to achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome while ensuring optimal healing and minimizing scarring. Follow-up Care: We provide comprehensive post-operative care and support, including wound care instructions, follow-up visits, and long-term surveillance to monitor for any potential recurrence or new skin cancers.
