Skin Cancer & Lesions
Skin lesions are a growth or blemish on the skin that can be cancerous. There are many types of skin lesions such as cysts, warts, birthmarks, and moles that are non-cancerous, but skin lesions become a concern when Melanoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) or Basal Cell Cancer (BCC) are found. It is extremely important to identify the type of skin lesion you may have early on to reduce the risk of complications from skin cancer by undergoing the correct treatment.
Skin Grafts & Flaps
Skin flaps and skin grafts involve the transplantation of skin and are used to assist with the healing of more serious wounds. Skin grafts and flaps can be used to treat several different conditions. The most common are:
Extensive trauma
Chronic wounds
Severe burns
Areas of prior infection
Reconstructive surgery following major surgery for cancer.
Scar Revision
Following injury or an operation, a typical scar develops as quite red for 3-6 months before settling as a light coloured flat scar. However, if a delicate balance is not achieved during the healing process after injury or operation, a scar may display abnormalities resulting in more noticeable scars that can be itchy and painful as well as unsightly.
