Skin Cancer Treatment

In Delhi

Skin cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow in your skin, usually in areas frequently exposed to sunlight. It is one of the most common types of cancer, but when detected early, it is often treatable. The skin is your body's outer layer, so changes are usually visible. Skin cancer can appear in different forms, like melanoma, and each behaves differently. Some grow slowly while others can spread rapidly. That is why noticing changes in your skin and getting them checked on time becomes very important.

Symptoms
You might notice a new mole or a change in an existing one. It includes changes in size, shape, or color. Some spots might look uneven, have irregular borders, or multiple shades. A sore that doesn't heal or keeps coming back as another sign. In some cases, your skin might itch or bleed. Dark patches or unusual growths on your skin should not be ignored. These changes might seem really small, but they need attention if they persist.

Causes
Skin cancer develops when DNA in your skin cells is damaged, causing them to grow uncontrollably. The most common cause is prolonged exposure to UV rays from the sun. Use of tanning beds can also increase the risk. If you have lighter skin, a history of sunburns, or excessive exposure are at higher risk. Family history and certain skin conditions might also play a role.

Diagnosis
Doctors usually begin with the physical exam of the skin and check for any unusual moles or spots. A dermatoscope might be used to look at the skin more closely. If anything, suspicious is found, a biopsy is done to confirm whether it is cancerous. Further tests might also be needed to check if the cancer has spread.

Treatment
Treatment depends on the type and stage of your skin cancer. In many cases, surgery is done to remove the affected area. Options might include cryotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted treatments. The goal is to remove the cancer completely and prevent it from spreading. MOC Cancer Care Center in Delhi NCR provides advanced care with experienced specialists and modern treatment options.
