Katy, TX area dermatologist offers skin cancer treatment

When Katy, TX area patients hear that they have skin cancer, they are often devastated at the news. However, skin cancer is one of the simplest types of cancer to treat—and the easiest to spot! Skin cancer treatment can vary from patient to patient.

Skin cancer screenings

Determining if skin cancer is present is best done during a skin cancer screening. These are annual visits to the dermatologist for an evaluation during which the entire body is examined from head to toe for any unusual moles or skin growths that may indicate the presence of cancer. Dr. Seymour Weaver and his staff work with patients to provide thorough evaluations. If an area is of great concern, the dermatologist may suggest a biopsy. This is when a small portion of the mole or growth is removed from the body and tested at a laboratory for the presence of cancer cells. If these skin cancer cells are present, this means the patient has skin cancer and will need to move forward with appropriate treatment to address.

Treatment for skin cancer

With Dr. Seymour Weaver, patients have a few different options when it comes to addressing areas of skin cancer on the body. Methods of removal include:

• Electrodessication
• Freezing
• Surgical removal

Which removal method is right for me?

Determining the right skin cancer treatment is done with the help of a dedicated professional who can guide patients through this journey to bring their body back to health. An evaluation is the first step, during which patients can consult with a dermatologist to decide the most effective method of removal for their specific needs.
