Skin cancer remains a significant public health concern, imposing a substantial burden on healthcare systems worldwide. With its high incidence rates continuously driving up healthcare costs, there is a pressing need to prioritize the improvement of preventive programs dedicated to combating this growing problem. Enhancing preventive measures is paramount in alleviating the strain placed on healthcare systems by skin cancer. By promoting awareness of risk factors, advocating for early detection practices, and encouraging UV-safe behaviors, preventive initiatives empower individuals to take proactive steps in safeguarding their skin health. The case discusses a 70-years old patient who came for excision of cancerous lesion in the nasal area followed by reconstruction with V-Y advancement flap for closure of the defect.
