Actinic Keratosis, Basal Cell Carcinoma, and Squamous Cell Carcinoma
At BayWay Dermatology, we specialize in the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of precancerous and cancerous skin lesions, including actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Our skilled dermatology team in Brooklyn uses advanced diagnostic tools and treatment methods to ensure accurate identification and safe, effective removal of abnormal skin growths—often before they progress to more serious conditions.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, but when caught early, it’s also one of the most treatable. Routine skin checks and prompt treatment of suspicious lesions are the most effective ways to protect your health and your skin.
🧪 Conditions We Treat Include:
Actinic Keratosis (AK)
Rough, scaly patches on sun-exposed skin (face, scalp, hands) that are considered precancerous and can progress to squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
The most common type of skin cancer—slow-growing and typically found on sun-damaged areas. Appears as a pearly bump, flat scar-like patch, or persistent sore.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
A more aggressive form of skin cancer that may grow deeper or spread if untreated. Often appears as a thick, scaly patch, red bump, or open sore.
✂️ Our Skin Cancer Evaluation & Treatment Options:
Full-body skin exams to detect suspicious lesions
Biopsy and histopathologic confirmation of abnormal growths
Cryotherapy (freezing) for early-stage actinic keratoses
Topical chemotherapy or immunotherapy (e.g., 5-fluorouracil, imiquimod) for superficial lesions
Electrodesiccation and curettage (ED&C) for small non-aggressive skin cancers
Surgical excision for larger or invasive cancers, performed with precision for optimal cosmetic outcomes
Post-treatment monitoring to reduce recurrence and monitor high-risk areas
Every treatment is tailored to the type, location, and behavior of the lesion, as well as your personal and family history of skin cancer.
