Facing Skin Cancer in the Rocky Mountain Region

In the vast, beautiful landscapes of Montana and Wyoming, skin cancer poses a significant health challenge due to our high-altitude sunshine and outdoor lifestyles. At Yellowstone Dermatology, our dedicated team, led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Eric Maranda, is at the forefront of both diagnosing and treating various types of skin cancer, providing high-level care localized right here in Billings, Cody, and Sheridan.

Types of Skin Cancer and Risk Factors

At Yellowstone Dermatology Associates, we diagnose and treat several forms of skin cancer, including:

• Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): The most common type of skin cancer, known for its likelihood to affect the body’s sun-exposed areas.
• Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): The second most common form, which can become aggressive if untreated.
• Melanoma: The most dangerous form due to its potential to spread quickly through the body.

Risk factors include UV exposure, fair skin, history of sunburns, excessive moles, and a family history of skin cancer.

Early Detection: The Power of Prevention

Early detection remains a crucial element in effectively treating skin cancer. We emphasize the importance of regular skin checks. This is why our Yellowstone Dermatology locations in Billings, Cody, and Sheridan, provide comprehensive skin exams and education on how to recognize the early signs of skin cancer.

What to Look For:

• New growths or noticeable changes in the skin.
• Asymmetrical moles or spots.
• Borders of moles that are irregular.
• Colors that are uneven.
• Diameters larger than a pencil eraser.

Regular check-ups help in spotting these signs early when the cancer is most treatable.
