CURETTAGE & ELECTRODESSICATION
Electrodessication & Curettage is a technique involving scraping (curettage) and burning (electrodesiccation) to destroy cancerous cells on the skin. This may be appropriate for treating small, superficial (early) basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers. Treatment is done under local anesthesia and takes 5-10 minutes. Afterward, patients have a small scab that they apply Vaseline and a bandage to help healing, which occurs over a few weeks.
