Mohs Surgery cures upto 99% of melanoma cases.




Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with more than 3.5 million cases diagnosed and treated each year. On average, one in five Americans will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetimes.



Mohs surgery is microscopically controlled surgery used to remove common form of skin cancers. Since its introduction, Mohs micro graphic surgery has been refined into the most advanced, precise, and effective treatment for removing skin cancers. Mohs micro graphic surgery is the most advanced and effective treatment procedure for skin cancer available today.




At first the dermatologist removes the cancerous tumor then the tissue is immediately examined for cancer cells. The margins, or outside, of the cancerous tissue are examined. If cancer cells are still found, additional tissue on the outside is removed until healthy, cancer-free tissue around the tumor is reached. This is called “clear margins.”

Mohs surgery is constantly evolving and improving, and are able to treat a variety of skin cancers very effectively.

Impetigo

Impetigo is a skin infection which is extremely contagious and affects primarily children and infants which usually causes itchy sores and blisters to appear around the mouth and face. Impetigo is characterized by red sores on the face, especially around the nose and mouth. These sores later burst and form honey-colored crusts. The affected child should be kept away from others for about 24-to 48 hours after starting treatment after which the child will no longer be contagious. Without treatment, the child remains contagious until the sores resolve on their own. Symptoms start with red or pimple-like sores surrounded by red skin. These sores usually occur on your face, arms, and legs. The sores fill with pus, then break open after a few days and form a thick crust. You can treat impetigo with antibiotics.
