About Howsden Dermatology

Our main focus is the detection and treatment of skin cancers (abnormal "moles," pre-cancer lesions, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma). We perform comprehensive skin examinations for the detection and treatment of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions. We perform biopsies of any suspicious or changing lesions. Our practice treats skin cancers with either Electrodesiccation and Curettage (ED&C) or surgical excision in our office under local anesthesia.Akash Patel, MD was born and raised in the United States.
