Melanoma & Skin Cancer Treatment Services
Specialized care for Melanoma, basal and squamous cell carcinomas, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and general dermatology.

Melanoma
Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that begins in melanocytes (the cells that make the pigment melanin). Melanoma usually begins in a mole. According to the National Cancer Institute, the first sign of melanoma is often a change in the size, shape, color, or feel of an existing mole.  Most melanomas have a black or blue-black area. Melanoma also may appear as a new mole. It may be black, abnormal, or “ugly looking.”

If you have a question or concern about something on your skin, see your doctor.
