Overview

Skin cancer treatment can have unwanted side effects and complications, including irritation, infection and discolouration at the treatment site, scarring, and changes in skin texture. Depending on the type of treatment, some patients may experience fatigue and other more serious side effects. It is important to discuss potential risks with a healthcare provider, who may help reduce the chances of complications. In some cases, skin cancer treatments can be successful in removing abnormal cells and reducing the likelihood of spreading or recurrence, which is why it is important to discuss treatment options with a healthcare professional.
