Destruction

For certain low-risk skin cancers and precancerous lesions, destruction techniques offer an effective, minimally invasive treatment option performed right in our office. Using methods such as electrodesiccation and curettage, our dermatologists precisely and efficiently eliminate abnormal cells, with a straightforward recovery and no surgical incision required.

Dermatologist Treating Hand Lesion

What is Destruction?

In dermatology, "destruction" refers to a category of treatments that eliminate abnormal or cancerous skin cells by physically destroying them rather than cutting them out and closing with sutures. The most common destructive technique is electrodesiccation and curettage (ED&C).

During ED&C, your dermatologist uses a small instrument called a curette to scrape away the cancerous tissue, then applies an electric current to the area to destroy any remaining abnormal cells and control bleeding. This sequence is typically repeated two to three times in the same session to maximize effectiveness.

Destruction is best suited for low-risk, superficial skin cancers, most commonly certain types of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, in locations where the technique is clinically appropriate. 

Who's a good candidate?
Your dermatologist may recommend ED&C or a related destruction method if you have:
A low-risk basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in a location well-suited to destruction, typically the trunk or extremities
Squamous cell carcinoma in situ (also known as Bowen's disease) is a superficial form of SCC confined to the outer skin layer
Actinic keratoses that are thick, numerous, or resistant to other treatments
A well-defined lesion not located in a cosmetically sensitive or high-risk area (such as the face, ears, or hands) where tissue preservation and margin control are priorities
A confirmed primary (not recurrent) skin cancer diagnosis appropriate for non-excisional treatment
Destruction is not appropriate for all skin cancers. Deeper, larger, recurrent, or high-risk lesions are typically better treated with excision or Mohs surgery.
What Results Can I Expect?
For well-selected candidates, ED&C destruction achieves high cure rates for low-risk superficial skin cancers. The treated area will form a scab that heals over several weeks, typically leaving a small, flat scar or pale mark at the site.
Because no tissue specimen is collected, there is no pathology report to follow up on. Your provider will monitor the treated area at follow-up visits to confirm complete healing and watch for any signs of recurrence.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. There is no incision to close and no sutures to remove, making the post-procedure experience more straightforward than surgical options for many patients.
WHAT TO EXPECT

What to Expect With Destruction

ED&C is a straightforward in-office procedure that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish. Here is what happens on the day of your treatment.

1

Preparation

The treatment area is cleaned, and a local anesthetic is injected to numb the skin. Most patients feel only a brief sting at the injection site. Once the area is numb, you should not experience pain during the procedure.
2

Curettage

Your dermatologist uses a curette, a small, spoon-shaped surgical instrument, to remove cancerous or abnormal tissue. The curette helps the provider identify the soft, abnormal tissue and distinguish it from the firm, healthy skin surrounding it.
3

Electrodesiccation

An electrosurgical device is applied to the treatment site to destroy any remaining abnormal cells and seal off small blood vessels. This step controls bleeding and helps eliminate cells that may not have been fully removed by curettage.
4

Repeat Cycles

The curettage and electrodesiccation sequence is typically repeated two to three times in the same session. Each cycle works to reduce the likelihood that any abnormal cells remain at the treatment site.
5

Wound Care and Discharge

No sutures are required. The treatment site is covered with a bandage, and your care team will walk you through wound care instructions before you leave. You can typically drive yourself home and return to most daily activities the same day.

Simple Recovery, Steady Healing

Because destruction does not involve a surgical incision, recovery is generally more straightforward than with excision or Mohs surgery. The treated area will scab over and heal gradually over several weeks. Your provider will schedule a follow-up visit to confirm complete healing and assess the site.

Recovery at a Glance

Days of Procedure
Treatment is performed in the office and takes 15–30 minutes. The area will be tender, red, and may weep slightly. Keep it clean and covered. You can return to most normal activities the same day.
Days 1–7
A scab forms over the treatment site, a normal and expected part of healing. Keep the area moist with a recommended ointment and covered with a bandage. Avoid picking or disturbing the scab.
Weeks 1-2
The scab will begin to lift naturally as the skin underneath heals. The area may appear pink or slightly raised. Continue sun protection over the site. Most patients see steady improvement during this period.
Weeks 4-8
Healing is typically complete within four to eight weeks, depending on the size and location of the treatment area. A light scar or pale mark may remain. Your provider will confirm complete healing at your follow-up.

Your Destruction Questions, Answered

In dermatology, destruction refers to techniques that eliminate abnormal or cancerous skin cells by physically destroying them, rather than surgically cutting them out and closing the wound with sutures. The most common method is electrodesiccation and curettage, or ED&C, in which the lesion is scraped away, and an electric current is applied to the site to destroy remaining cells and control bleeding.

Destruction is most commonly used for low-risk basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen's disease), and actinic keratoses. It is generally appropriate for superficial lesions in lower-risk locations (typically the trunk or extremities) rather than the face, ears, or other areas where tissue preservation and margin control are priorities.

All three are in-office procedures for removing skin cancer, but the method and best use cases differ. Destruction (ED&C) physically eliminates the lesion without removing a tissue specimen, making it appropriate for low-risk superficial cancers. Excision removes the lesion with a surgical margin and sends the tissue to pathology for analysis. Mohs surgery removes tissue in real time, layer by layer under a microscope, offering the highest margin precision, particularly for complex or high-risk cancers. Your provider will recommend the approach that fits your diagnosis.

The treatment area is numbed with a local anesthetic before the procedure begins. Most patients feel only a brief sting at the injection site. The curettage and electrodesiccation steps themselves should not be painful once the anesthetic has taken effect. Some tenderness and a burning sensation in the area are normal in the hours immediately following the procedure.

Yes, a small scar or pale, flat mark at the treatment site is a normal outcome of destruction. Because the wound heals without sutures, the appearance of the scar is somewhat different from a sutured surgical wound. The size and visibility of the mark depend on the treated area and its location on the body. Your provider can discuss what to expect based on your specific case.

Most ED&C procedures are completed in 15 to 30 minutes, including preparation. The curettage and electrodesiccation cycle is repeated two to three times per session, but the process is efficient. You can typically drive yourself home and return to most normal activities the same day.

Destruction techniques like ED&C are generally covered by most insurance plans when performed for a medically indicated skin cancer diagnosis. Coverage details vary by plan. We recommend confirming your benefits before your appointment. Our team can assist with questions about what to expect from your specific coverage.

Because destruction does not produce a tissue specimen for pathology, confirmation of treatment success relies on clinical follow-up. Your provider will examine the treated area at a follow-up visit to confirm complete healing and look for any signs of recurrence. Ongoing monitoring is an important part of your care plan after destruction, especially for patients with a history of skin cancer.

Recurrence after destruction is possible, particularly if the original lesion was not fully eliminated. If recurrence occurs, your dermatologist will reassess the lesion and recommend the most appropriate next step, which may include excision or Mohs surgery, depending on the size, location, and characteristics of the recurrent cancer. Regular follow-up visits are the best way to catch any changes early.

I cannot recommend Morgan Cheripko at Katz Dermatology highly enough. After months of struggling with a persistent forehead skin condition and seeing little improvement, I sought a second opinion with Morgan. She carefully evaluated my skin and changed my treatment plan and the difference has been incredible. Over the following months, my forehead improved dramatically. At my most recent follow-up, only a few small spots remained and today my forehead is virtually clear with no active spots. Looking back at the before-and-after photos in my chart, the improvement is remarkable. What I appreciated most was that Morgan was willing to reevaluate my condition instead of simply continuing a treatment that wasn't working. She explained what to expect, answered my questions, and created a treatment plan that ultimately gave me the results I had been hoping for. If you're struggling with a persistent condition or have been told one diagnosis but aren't getting better, I highly recommend seeing Morgan Cheripko. I'm incredibly grateful for the care I received and for helping me get my confidence back.

Anne Arundel Dermatology in Prince Frederick is the only place I go to be treated and get skin exams. They are prompt, courteous, professional and thorough. I have had two precancerous moles removed over the years. No scarring and no problems. They were especially aggressive with the last one, as we knew it could have gone to carcenoma any time. The treating physician took what to me was a large portion of tissue out, and sutured it aggressively. It healed so well that today no one can tell I ever had it done. The PA there is so good that he identified what I had my whole life thought was a mole as a Seborreic keratosis. Unconvinced I had him remove it. I was wrong, he was right. The thing has stayed gone ever since, and I will always be grateful for it. No one could ever tell it had been on my arm for 50 years, because it is gone 10,000%.

“I needed to see a dermatologist urgently and came in to make an appointment. To my surprise, they were able to see me the same day. I waited only 5 minutes. Cassandra Cohen, PA-C, was professional, kind, and attentive. I’m very satisfied with the care I received!”

I just wanted to take a moment to leave a review and say how amazing the staff here is! I’ve had my fair share of experiences with different dermatology offices, both within this company and outside of it, and this office really stood out to me. Keonna at the front desk was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient. She made the check-in process easy and was just a pleasure to interact with. Dr. Becker was also wonderful! He was very friendly, personable, and talkative in the best way...not overwhelming or annoying at all. He actually took the time to talk with me and made the experience feel comfortable and relaxed. Overall, I had a really positive experience and truly appreciate the staff for making my visit so pleasant. Great team!

UPDATE August 2026: Rating still stands. The staff here is so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Anne Arundel Dermatology. The everyone is friendly and welcoming. I was able to get a new patient appointment within a month, and when I needed to be seen again, I was able to schedule an appointment within a short and reasonable amount of time. During the appointment, the Dermatologist listened to my concerns and discussed treatment options and procedures in a way that was easy to understand. I left each appointment feeling very well taken care of by the staff at Anne Arundel Dermatology.

I had my first appointment at Academy Alliance Dermatology on June 5th at 2:45 PM, and honestly, I had such a great experience! The front desk ladies were friendly and everything was quick and smooth, and I didn’t have to wait long at all. The medical staff member who helped me was so sweet and gentle. She made me feel safe and supported, especially since I was a little nervous. I really appreciated how kind and patient she was 🩺💖. And Dr. James Martin was amazing! He took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently, so I could really understand what I need to do next. He was super professional but also very friendly which made everything so much easier. Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for being so kind, caring, and professional.

Today’s visit was excellent. We waited less than 10 minutes in the lobby, and the front desk staff were, as always, very friendly and welcoming. Our appointment was with Dr. Matthew Zook for the scheduled removal of a cyst above our three-year-old son’s eye. Both Dr. Zook and his assistant were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. As fairly anxious parents with a language barrier, we had many questions, and they took the time to answer every one of them without hesitation, making us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire visit. The procedure itself was very quick. Our son only shed two tears — honestly, my husband and I were much more nervous than he was! After the procedure, we were given clear instructions for aftercare, a prescription for an ointment, and reassurance that everything had gone very well. We are now waiting for the biopsy results, which should be available in about 10 days. Thank you to Dr. Zook and his assistant for their professionalism, expertise, compassion, and excellent care. We truly appreciate the wonderful experience and highly recommend this practice. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hello, I used this facility while I was visiting from Puerto Rico. It is very clean when you walk in and also throughout the building. The receptionist was beautiful, kind, very fun to talk to, and very helpful. Dan is the one who performed my injections, and he did a fabulous job. Very much took the time to make sure that it was the proper amount, angled, right, put dots and lines all over my face, let me look in the mirror, explained everything to me, also gave us honest opinion if I needed more or less of anything. I highly recommend anyone living in Sevierville or visiting to use the clinic. You will not be disappointed.
