Natalie Bene, MD

Madonna and Cindy Crawford are known for their beauty marks, but it's important to understand that moles can increase a person's risk of getting melanoma. Atypical moles you should look out for are irregular in shape, are a mix of colors (tan, brown, red and pink) and are larger than the end of a pencil eraser. Risk is heightened if you've had melanoma before or have four or more atypical moles. If you are concerned about your risk of developing melanoma, please schedule a TeleDermatology appointment with us by calling 717-755-4422.

At Dermatology & Skin Surgery Center of York, medical director Dr. Natalie Bene is board-certified and fellowship trained in a leading surgery to treat skin cancer, Mohs surgery. But what are the benefits of Mohs surgery? There is a very high cure rate and it allows the dermatologist to only remove the skin with cancerous cells attached. Recurring cancers are treated with this method because of the precision, making it cosmetically and functionally appealing. Learn more about Mohs surgery by visiting our website dermatologyofyork.com or call 717-755-4422 for a comprehensive list of skin cancer treatment options.
