Mohs Surgery: Blast from the Past for Skin Cancer Treatment

5. Is Mohs Surgery Just for the Older Adults?

Skin cancer is on the rise in the younger generation; they spend more time outdoors or in tanning beds, exposing themselves to harmful ultraviolet rays without skin protection. When a spot appears they dismiss it thinking it is not a big deal until it either grows larger or becomes more noticeable.

Having it removed, especially on the face or neck where scarring can be an issue, can be unnerving. The cosmetic procedure that accompanies the Mohs Surgery can relieve the pressure of keeping that youthful, flawless appearance while curing what could potentially become worse.
