my dermatologist did not 'deal with' it himself.

'Doctors use Mohs surgery (also called Mohs micrographic surgery) to treat skin cancer. The goal is to remove as much of it as possible while saving the healthy tissue around it. Layers of skin are removed one at a time and examined under a microscope until all the cancer is gone. This reduces the chance of needing future treatments or surgery.' https://www.webmd.com/melanoma-skin-cancer/mohs-surgery#1
