Skin Cancer
At SkinSense Private GP Chelmsford, we provide expert Skin Cancer assessment and early detection for effective treatment. Our services include surgical excision, cryotherapy, and topical therapies tailored to your needs. Receive personalised, precise, and compassionate care to manage and overcome skin cancer.
Procedure
Skin cancer treatment depends on the type and stage of the cancer. Our Specialist Doctors will first conduct a thorough examination, including a biopsy if necessary, to confirm the diagnosis. Once diagnosed, treatment options may include excision (surgical removal), cryotherapy (freezing), or topical treatments for less invasive forms. If required, Our Specialist Doctors may refer you for further treatments such as radiation therapy. The procedures are generally straightforward, and recovery depends on the extent of the treatment.
What to expect at the clinic:
On arrival, our friendly receptionist will assist you in completing the Medical History form. Our Specialist Doctors will carefully assess your condition, discuss your concerns, and determine the best approach for treatment. If a biopsy is necessary, you will be informed of the procedure details. Following your consultation, you will receive a consent form to sign, and the procedure will be scheduled accordingly. Aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure proper healing, and a follow-up appointment will be booked to check on your progress.
