White skin cancer can be recognised by unusual-looking patches of skin that change in size, shape or colour. At a later stage, it begins to hurt and flake. In most cases, white skin cancer is removed surgically.

Our experienced dermatosurgeons are able to remove skin cancer from any part of the body without complications using various surgical methods. In order to minimise scarring in cosmetically important areas, we use the gentle Mohs method. The entire process, from diagnosis to removal and analysis, takes between 3 and 5 hours.

Black skin cancer (melanoma) usually manifests itself in the form of skin changes, most commonly moles. As it does not initially cause any physical symptoms, it is often recognised late or too late. However, melanoma has the highest risk of metastasis and must therefore be removed immediately.

At a second appointment, healthy skin is removed from the surrounding skin area (approx. 1 - 2 cm) for safety reasons. To rule out further metastases, in most cases we carry out further examinations, e.g. chest X-rays or ultrasound examination of the lymph nodes. If metastases are found, we will accompany you through the entire follow-up process.
