<\/p>\n BOOK TODAY<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Minor Skin Cancer Surgery in Warrawong<\/span><\/p>\n Curettage and desiccation is a form of skin cancer removal used for carcinomas. It involves scraping the skin with a tool known as a curette, and then cauterising the wound. This kind of treatment doesn\u2019t involve stitches, however it will still leave a scar. A curettage may be suitable and used for both cancerous and precancerous growths.Because a local anaesthetic is used, there is not any pain during this procedure. Repetition may be required for effective removal where the area is scraped and burned up to 3 times.<\/p>\n A curettage may be used to treat low-risk Basal Cell Carcinomas and non-invasive Squamous Cell Carcinomas. Generally, a curettage may be considered when there is a low risk tumour that is small with clear borders. Your doctor will determine a tumour\u2019s risk level based on a biopsy report<\/p>\n Actinic Keratosis, which is a precancer, which forms when cells in the epidermis begin to grow abnormally.
