Surgical<\/strong><\/p>\n Skin Cancer Procedures<\/strong><\/p>\n Kootenai Clinic Dermatology offers multiple treatment options for skin cancer. For smaller, superficial skin cancers, cryosurgery<\/strong> (freezing with liquid nitrogen), electrodessication<\/strong> and curettage<\/strong> (burning with an electrical current and scraping the affected area under local anesthesia), as well as medicated skin creams are common treatment options. <\/p>\n Other types of cancer may need to be removed surgically. Surgical excision is appropriate for basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, as well as many melanomas.<\/p>\n\n
