Skin Cancer Treatment

Skin Cancer Treatment
The occurrence of all types of skin cancer has drastically increased over the last four decades, especially melanoma—one of the most lethal types of all cancers. Early detection is the key to permanent cure, which usually involves surgical excision in an office setting. Board certified dermatologist Dr. Robert Benson has a long-established reputation as an expert in the prevention, detection, and treatment of all skin cancers and has thirty years of experience both in the U.S. and New Zealand, the skin cancer capitol of the world. Our patients receive the latest and most effective preventative measures with a range of specialty antioxidants, sunblocks, and cosmetics. Detection of skin cancer is an everyday occurrence at Benson Dermatology due to our regular and intensive screening exams. Surgical or medical removal of skin cancers is our specialty, with most excisions done in the office under local anesthesia yielding excellent cosmetic results.

If you or a loved one has a skin growth which is new, changing in color or size, irritated or ulcerated, or dark or multicolored, please call our Ponchatoula or Covington office for an appointment. The same advice applies if you have a close relative who's been diagnosed with melanoma.

Benson Dermatology's experienced and knowledgeable staff treats each patient with compassionate care and proven, up-to-date procedures. Let us help you with all of your dermatology concerns. Contact us today.
