Flagler Dermatology is a renowned dermatology practice dedicated to providing comprehensive and specialized services for the diagnosis and treatment of various skin conditions. With a team of highly skilled dermatology providers and state-of-the-art facilities, we are proud to offer exceptional care for patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In this article, we will explore the expertise and services provided by Flagler Dermatology in the management of SCC.

Diagnosis:

At Flagler Dermatology, we understand the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis in treating squamous cell carcinoma. Our dermatology providers are experienced in identifying the characteristic signs and symptoms of SCC and utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to confirm the diagnosis. Through thorough clinical examinations, biopsies, and advanced imaging technologies, such as dermoscopy and confocal microscopy, we ensure precise identification and staging of SCC lesions.

Surgical Excision:

For localized SCC lesions, surgical excision is often the primary treatment modality. Our skilled dermatology providers are well-versed in various surgical techniques, including traditional excision, Mohs micrographic surgery, and laser surgery. We employ meticulous precision to remove the tumor while preserving healthy tissue and ensuring the best cosmetic outcome.

Electrodessication and Curettage:

Electrodesiccation and curettage (ED&C) is a commonly used treatment method for superficial SCC lesions. This procedure involves scraping the tumor with a curette and then cauterizing the area with an electric current. Flagler Dermatology’s providers have extensive experience in performing ED&C, delivering effective results while minimizing scarring and discomfort.

Cryosurgery:
Cryosurgery employs extreme cold temperatures to destroy cancerous cells. At Flagler Dermatology, we utilize liquid nitrogen to freeze and eradicate superficial SCC lesions. This technique is particularly suitable for small, early-stage tumors and offers several benefits, including minimal scarring and a relatively shorter recovery period.
