Depends where they are located and the type of skin cancer. Treatments include:

-MOHS surgery for lesions on the face or others risk areas and/or types of skin cancer more aggressive or very big (more than 2 cm)
-Other treatments are surgery and scraping them and electrocauyery

You need to see a dermatologist for a more personalized decision.
Biopsies and excisions.
