Comprehensive Skin Cancer Care in Blackpool
Skin cancer can appear in many different ways. You may notice a new or changing mole, a persistent scaly patch, a lump, a sore that does not heal, or a lesion that bleeds, crusts, or changes over time. If you are concerned about skin cancer, early assessment can help establish a diagnosis and determine whether treatment is needed.
Dr Arif Aslam assesses and treats both common and complex skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Depending on your individual situation, your appointment may include a clinical examination, dermoscopic assessment (using a specialised skin microscope), a discussion of biopsy options, and a clear explanation of possible treatment pathways.
Throughout the process, the aim is to reach an accurate diagnosis, provide effective treatment, and preserve as much healthy tissue as possible when surgery is required.
You're in safe hands
When it comes to treating skin cancer, experience, precision, and attention to detail matter. Mohs micrographic surgery is widely regarded as the gold-standard treatment for many high-risk and recurrent basal cell carcinomas, as well as selected squamous cell carcinomas. During the procedure, 100% of the surgical margin is examined, helping to maximise cancer clearance while preserving healthy tissue.
Alongside his specialist training, Dr Arif Aslam takes a patient-centred approach, helping patients feel informed, supported, and confident throughout their care. His expertise in both skin cancer treatment and reconstruction supports effective cancer removal while aiming for the best possible functional and cosmetic outcomes.
In addition, the clinic shares patient feedback through independent review platforms such as Doctify, alongside professional memberships and accreditations. Clear information and guidance are provided at every stage of the treatment journey.

What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your appointment will begin with a discussion about your skin concern, symptoms, medical history, and any previous skin cancer diagnosis or treatment. Dr Arif Aslam will then examine the area carefully and may use dermoscopy to assess the lesion in more detail.
If further investigation is needed, a skin biopsy may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis. Once the results are available, you will be guided through the findings, treatment options, expected outcomes, recovery, and any follow-up arrangements.
Should surgery be advised, the treatment plan will focus on complete cancer removal while also considering cosmetic appearance and preserving normal function.
