How does radiation therapy work for skin conditions?
Superficial radiation therapy (SRT) treats skin issues by using gentle radiation to target and destroy abnormal cells while protecting healthy skin. It’s done with a special machine that aims the radiation directly at the problem area. SRT works well for treating certain types of skin cancer, especially when surgery might be difficult or unwanted.

How are abnormal moles typically managed?
Abnormal moles are usually managed by monitoring them regularly for any changes. If a mole shows concerning features like asymmetry, irregular borders, color changes, or growth, a dermatologist may recommend a biopsy to examine it more closely. In some cases, surgical removal may be necessary to prevent potential skin cancer.
What is Mohs surgery and when is it used in dermatology?
Mohs surgery is a special way to remove skin cancer step by step, making sure to save as much healthy skin as possible. Doctors use it for skin cancer that’s in tricky spots or when they need to be extra careful about saving skin.
