Common Causes and Triggers

A Mohs procedure is a specialized treatment used to remove certain types of skin cancer while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. It may also be used to treat suspicious skin lesions, which are areas of skin that differ from the surrounding skin in color, texture, shape, or appearance. Skin lesions may be benign, precancerous, or cancerous.
