Noticed a Skin Change That Feels Off? We’re Here to Help.

Not every skin cancer looks like a mole. A scab that doesn’t heal, a rough patch, a pink bump ; it could be nothing, or it could need attention.

🚨 What Happens If You Ignore It?

Graphic Content
Click to See the Reality.

Skin changes are not always harmless—and should never be ignored.
If left unchecked, skin cancer can grow deeper into the skin, spread to other parts of the body, and become life-threatening. Early detection is key to successful treatment and better outcomes.

Ignoring unusual moles or skin changes can lead to serious complications. Skin cancer may start as a small, subtle mark but can quickly progress, causing tissue damage, disfigurement, or metastasis. Timely assessment by a dermatologist can make all the difference

Types of Treatments

Skin Cancer Treatment at Birmingham Dermatology Clinic

At BDC, we take a thorough and personalised approach to skin cancer care—focused on early detection, effective treatment, and long-term skin health.

1. Dermatologist-Led Assessment

Every case begins with a detailed skin examination by one of our experienced dermatologists. Suspicious lesions or moles are closely evaluated using dermoscopy and, if necessary, a skin biopsy is performed to confirm the diagnosis.

2. Personalised Treatment Plan

Based on the type, size, and location of the skin cancer, we tailor a treatment plan suited to your needs. Common treatments include:

Surgical Excision
The most common and effective method, where the cancerous lesion is removed along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete clearance.
Curettage & Cautery
For certain types of superficial skin cancers, this involves scraping away the lesion and using heat to destroy remaining cells.
Cryotherapy
Freezing with liquid nitrogen may be used for small or early-stage lesions, especially actinic keratoses and superficial basal cell carcinomas.
Referral for Mohs Surgery or Oncology Care
For more complex cases, we coordinate with specialist services to ensure you receive the most advanced care available.

3. Aftercare & Monitoring

Post-treatment, we provide full aftercare support, scar management advice, and schedule regular follow-up skin checks to monitor for recurrence or new lesions.

Address it early before it becomes a bigger concern.
