    precise skin cancer removal technique examining layers microscopically

    Mohs surgery, also known as Mohs micrographic surgery, is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. During the procedure, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains, ensuring complete cancer removal while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible.

      community Bad experience at Dermatologist

      in Update  41 upvotes 2 years ago
      A user had a disappointing dermatologist appointment where they were denied prescriptions for Dutasteride and oral Minoxidil for hair loss and were only offered a hair transplant referral. Other users sympathized, discussed self-medication, and suggested consulting a transplant doctor for up-to-date treatments.
