Skin Cancer Treatment: Forehead & Scalp

Skin cancers of the scalp and the forehead are difficult to treat for several reasons. First, these cancers are usually larger when initially diagnosed. Second, the surrounding skin is not easily mobile, making reconstruction in this region more challenging. Furthermore, special consideration must be made when reconstructing areas of the forehead in order not to change the position of the eyebrows.
