- Wound CareYour surgical wound will likely require care during the weeks following surgery and prior to removal of any stitches. Detailed written instruction will be provided. You should plan on wearing a bandage and avoiding strenuous activity for the days following surgery. Please do not leave for travels during the week following your surgery to ensure proper medical evaluation if any problems result. Most of our patients report minimal pain, most of which will respond to Tylenol®. An ice pack (or bag of frozen vegetables) may also help with pain and reduce swelling, especially around the eyes. You may experience a sensation of tightness across the area of surgery. Supplies needed for wound care include hydrogen peroxide, cotton swabs, petroleum jelly or Aquaphor® and often, a form of bandage.
- Mohs SurgeryDuring the initial appointment, your dermatologic physician will evaluate your lesion and discuss the procedure with you. He will also discuss possible complications and risks that may occur, although serious complications are extremely rare. No surgeon or technique can guarantee a 100% chance of cure; however, in most circumstances, the chance of cure with Mohs surgery exceeds 97%.
- Skin CancerUltraviolet light from the sun or from a tanning bed may cause basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer. These are usually slow-growing skin cancers with a dome shape or a flesh-colored bump that does not go away. The spot may be pink, brown, or black; patches in it may be shiny or somewhat scaly. They may ooze, itch or bleed; some may look like a scar on the skin’s surface.

- LesionsExamine your own skin monthly. Pay special attention to moles, freckles, or other skin lesions. If you notice them changing, you should be examined by a Dermatologist sooner rather than later, regardless of symptoms.
- Skin CareI have been seeing Dr. Walters since May 2009 when I was told I had a melanoma. Thanks to Dr. Walters I have been cancer free since the removal. He is very thorough and does not take your care lightly. I appreciate him and his staff! I will continue to be a patient at his facility for my skin care needs. Thank you!
