Internists

Kelly then became a medical assistant at Dermatology Associates of Tallahassee, where she worked for two years before moving back to Miami and joining Dr. Herman and her team in 2011.

Radiologist

• Chemotherapy
  Chemotherapy: For very thin, superficial skin cancers, your dermatologist may prescribe a topical chemotherapy. The medication is applied topically to the affected area and will destroy the abnormal skin cancer cells. New healthy skin will develop in the treated area once it has healed. For skin cancers that have spread beyond the skin, your dermatologist will refer you to an oncologist who will discuss whether medication taken internally (orally, via injections or through an IV) may be an appropriate option for the type of skin cancer that you have.
• Radiation Therapy
  Radiation therapy: Radiation treatment is usually reserved for patients who have very large tumors and would be disfigured by surgery, or for patients who are unable to have surgery due to other health problems. This method typically requires up to 30 separate treatments over a period of weeks and is performed in the hospital as an outpatient procedure.

• Reconstructive Surgery
  Among its other advantages, Mohs surgery saves as much healthy skin tissue as possible, which helps to minimize scarring. However, as with any skin cancer treatment requiring the removal of cancerous skin cells, some degree of scarring will result. After Dr. Herman has completely removed your skin cancer by using Mohs surgery, she will discuss options for any related reconstruction. The focus of reconstructive surgery, if needed, is to provide you with the optimal functional and cosmetic results.

  Signs to look for: Often developing in an existing mole or appearing to be a new mole, melanomas typically are brown to black lesions that, according to the American College of Mohs Surgery website, have uneven borders, colors or surfaces. When they appear on sun-damaged skin such as the face, melanomas may look like a brown patch or unevenly colored freckle.
