What New Orleans area patients can do after a skin cancer diagnosis

By

Dr. Mary Lupo and the team of the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology can help New Orleans area patients with a wide range of dermatological concerns including skin cancer. When patients are dealing with growths, skin tags, or changing moles on their skin, they may be worried about the possibility of skin cancer. Working with a quality, board certified dermatologist is the best way to determine the likelihood of skin cancer and discuss prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

A skin cancer diagnosis can be very scary for patients. However, they should be well aware that they are not alone. In fact, approximately one out of every five Americans is diagnosed with some type of skin cancer in their lifetime. Patients are encouraged to educate themselves on the condition to help ease any anxieties they may experience during this time. They should know the difference in skin cancer types – non-melanoma (squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma) and melanoma types. Melanoma is known as the more aggressive form that should be taken extremely seriously, and non-melanoma can be easily removed with several different methods.

Patients who receive a skin cancer diagnosis must speak with a dedicated professional about their treatment options. Since skin cancer can be seen, it is easier to diagnose. Therefore, it is one of the cancers with the highest survival rates thanks to treatment options such as excision. Dr. Mary Lupo may speak with patients about excision in her office or may recommend a Mohs micrographic surgeon in the area who can perform surgery for more aggressive cancers and those that are in highly visible areas of the face or body. Dr. Mary Lupo can refer patients out to quality, experienced professionals who can provide quality care and treatment.

If you live in or around the New Orleans area and are interested in learning more about what needs to be done after a skin cancer diagnosis, contact the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology to book an appointment with Dr. Mary Lupo and her team. We recommend patients have a good understanding of what needs to be done to bring them back to health and wellness after they have been diagnosed with this condition.

Review From Anne R.
Dr. Mary Lupo and her staff performed Fraxel laser on my face and I had incredible results. The service, which is the brand Fraxel, isn't the least expensive in the city, but when done correctly by a professional like Dr. Lupo, the money is well spent. For me, I had issues with age spots and melasma, which were significantly diminished in one treatment--as well as fine lines around my eyes. My face looked young and bouncy and bright. For Dr. Lupo, this is a craft and she spends time with her patients, giving them the best results possible. I'd highly recommend her and this service to anyone.
