Skin Biopsy
Diagnostic Skin biopsy is performed under local anesthetics, using aseptic techniques, for suspicious lesions, which are sent for histopathology confirmation.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy procedures are done for the removal of viral warts and other benign skin lesions on a sun damaged skin. This procedure involves freezing the wart, mole, or spot with liquid nitrogen.
The standard treatment for most Skin cancers is by complete removal of the lesion after biopsy confirmation of the type of skin cancer. This is best achieved by Surgical excision. Skin cancers such as; Melanoma, Bcc(Basal cell carcinoma) and Scc(Squamous cell carcinoma) and Keratoacanthoma, etc are removed by skin excision procedure and treated here in our Clinic. This procedure is performed under local anesthetics, using an aseptic technique in our modern treatment room. This procedure is done by injecting the mole or spot with a local anesthetic to numb the area.

WHAT ARE THE WAYS TO PREVENT SKIN CANCER?
Wear sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible; shirts with long sleeves and long pants.
Choose loose-fitting clothing to keep cool in the heat.
Apply sunscreen generously to the clean and dry exposed parts of your skin, 20 minutes before going outdoors. Use sunscreen with SPF 30+ or higher, which has broad-spectrum and is also water-resistant.
Remember to re-apply sunscreen every two (2) hours, while out in the sun or more often if sweating, out on the beach swimming, or working with water outside.
Wear round, broad, or brimmed shady hats when out in the sun.
Avoid going outdoors during the middle of the day when the ultraviolet (UV) radiation level is high and strong.
Download a UV app and avoid going outside when the UV index reaches 3 and above. Seek shade when outdoors during the middle of the day, when ultraviolet (UV) radiation is high and strong.
Wear protective sunglasses for the eyes at all times when outdoors during daylight.
It is recommended to wear sunglasses with an eye protection factor (EPF) of 10.
Most importantly, have regular annual skin checks with your skin doctor or GP, or dermatologist.
Do self-skin examination at home with a very good light source and a handheld mirror.
Alternatively, have someone assist you in checking areas you cannot see such as the back of your legs, neck, and back.
Avoid the use of tanning beds.
Avoid the use of sunlamps.
