Lincoln Surgical's surgeons treat skin conditions such as cysts, skin cancers, moles, fatty tumors, and abscesses.
Surgical treatment may be recommended to treat a number of conditions that affect the skin, and many conditions that affect the skin can appear in any region of the body.
Lincoln Surgical offers surgical treatment for not only benign conditions of the skin such as cysts, lipomas, and skin lesions but also for melanoma and other types of skin cancer.
Skin cancer is the uncontrolled, abnormal growth of skin cells that often develops as a result of unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells. One common cause of skin cancer is overexposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, which triggers genetic defects. Cancerous tumors that develop on the skin may spread to nearby tissues, and in unusual circumstances, to vital organs.
Common types of skin cancer
