The incidence of skin cancer is on the rise.
Skin cancer — the abnormal growth of skin cells — most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. But this common form of cancer can also occur on areas of your skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight.
There are three major types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
You can reduce your risk of skin cancer by limiting or avoiding exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Checking your skin for suspicious changes can help detect skin cancer at its earliest stages. Early detection of skin cancer gives you the greatest chance for successful skin cancer treatment.
We at our clinic- regularly do screening for skin cancers specially for white skin patients.
Dr. Rameshwar Gutte is trained in dermoscopy – a non-invasive technique for screening of moles and lesions susupiciuos of skin cancer. It is like computerized skin check up. It helps for early detection of skin cancer and also to rule out skin cancer.
If you feel any of mole or any skin lesion is growing suddenly, changing color or paining or itching etc you can visit our clinic to rule out skin cancer.
If suspected we also do skin biopsy to confirm diagnosis and all medical and surgical treatment is available under one roof in collaboration with international oncology centre with expert oncologist and oncosurgeon.
