Preventing Recurrence and Managing Side Effects

Post-treatment care is crucial in preventing recurrence and managing any side effects. Regular follow-ups with a dermatologist are essential, as skin cancer can recur even after successful treatment. Protecting the skin from sun exposure, monitoring for new or changing moles, and adopting a healthy lifestyle are key components of ongoing care. Managing side effects, particularly from treatments like radiation or immunotherapy, requires close communication with healthcare providers to maintain quality of life.
