Skin Cancer

Skin cancer, particularly on the head and neck, can cause visible lesions, discomfort, or disfigurement, impacting appearance and health. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical for optimal outcomes. At ENT Central in Palmerston North, Dr. Naveed Basheeth provides expert, compassionate care for skin cancer management.

What Is Skin Cancer?

Skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma, often affects sun-exposed areas like the face, ears, or neck, linked to UV exposure, genetics, or immunosuppression. Symptoms include persistent sores, lumps, or changing moles. Dr. Naveed Basheeth uses advanced diagnostics, like biopsies or dermoscopy, to assess lesions and deliver tailored treatments for effective results.

Is Skin Cancer Treatment the Right Option for Me?

Treatment is suitable for those with suspicious skin lesions or a confirmed diagnosis. You may benefit if you experience:

How Is Skin Cancer Treatment Different From Other ENT Services?

Skin cancer treatment is uniquely focused on managing malignant lesions on the head and neck, distinguishing it from ENT specialties addressing ear, throat, or nasal conditions. It integrates advanced diagnostic techniques, such as dermoscopy, skin biopsies, and high-resolution imaging, with targeted therapies like Mohs micrographic surgery, surgical excision, or radiation. This precise approach ensures effective lesion removal while preserving aesthetics and function, tailored to the cancer’s type and stage for optimal outcomes with minimal invasiveness.

Does Recovery After Skin Cancer Treatment Take Long?

Recovery from skin cancer treatment varies, but minimally invasive procedures like Mohs surgery or simple excisions typically cause mild discomfort, such as temporary swelling or tenderness, resolving within days to a couple of weeks. Most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks, supported by Dr. Basheeth’s customized aftercare plans, which prioritize comfort and ensure a seamless healing process with sustained skin health and ongoing monitoring.
