A recent study, showed a dramatic rise in cosmetic, as well as skin cancer-associated surgeries. In a bid to increase visibility and awareness on this issue we have compiled a list of some common skin associated surgeries:

Mohs Surgery: It is a revolutionary surgery to treat common types of skin cancer. It is also called chemosurgery. Mohs is microscopically controlled surgery. During the surgery, after each removal of tissue, while the patient waits, the pathologist examines the tissue specimen for cancer cells, and that examination informs the surgeon where to remove tissue next.

There are a number of advantages of Mohs surgery, including:

- A success rate of 99 percent
- You will be treated by the best doctors as it is conducted by a regulatory body
- Since it uses microscope to remove the tumor, it is very precise and minimally invasive
- Rare tumors like DFSP,MAC,MFH, AFX, are also treated

Skin Cancer Treatment: Before actually getting along with the treatment we recommend you follow this flowchart

- Planning your treatment: In this a group of specialists after having perused your reports will advise the best course of action. Understand what treatment method they propose to use for e.g. Surgery, cryotherapy, radiotherapy
- Discuss your treatment with your doctor and family, understand the side-effects and the risk of failure
- It is of utmost importance to always get a second opinion before giving a go ahead

Cosmetic Dermatology: The core difference between cosmetic and medical dermatology is that while the former improves the skin, the latter treats it. Here are a few procedures that a cosmetic dermatologist can and will perform:

- Chemical Peels: An application of weak acid helps peel off the skin and rejuvenates the upper layer of the skin
- Botox or other injections: Use to decrease the signs of aging and wrinkles
- Lip Augmentation: gives fuller lips
- CO2 laser: Vaporization of first two layers of dermis to give young and tender skin

Medical Dermatology: Since it involves the treatment rather than enhancement of skin, choosing the right doctor is very important

- Check the qualifications: Make sure your dermatologist is board certified
- Check online for any reviews

BOTOX: Botox is generally associated with reducing wrinkles by using Botulinum toxin. Thus it is very important to religiously follow the tips given above to choose the right doctor for Botox treatment.
