Specific Procedures
Mole Removal
Mole removal is a common procedure, whether for cosmetic reasons or to mitigate potential health risks. The process typically involves numbing the area and excising the mole with a scalpel. Healing is usually swift, and the risk of complications is low.
When Should I Have a Mole Checked?
You should have a mole examined if it displays asymmetry, has irregular borders, shows multiple colors, is larger than 6mm, or changes in size, shape, or color over time. Additionally, if a mole itches, bleeds, or feels tender, it’s essential to have it assessed by a professional.
Cyst Removal
Cyst removal involves making a small incision to extract the cyst. This procedure is typically quick and performed under local anesthesia, effectively alleviating discomfort and preventing the cyst from recurring or becoming infected.
When Should I Have a Cyst Evaluated?
You should have a cyst examined if it grows rapidly, becomes painful, red, or warm, discharges fluid, interferes with your daily activities, or recurs after previous treatments. Timely evaluation can help prevent complications and ensure appropriate treatment.
Lipoma Removal
Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that can be surgically removed if they cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. The removal process involves a small incision and is usually performed under local anesthesia. Recovery is quick, with minimal disruption to daily activities.
Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags are small, benign growths that can be easily removed using simple procedures. Methods include excision with surgical scissors, cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, or laser treatments. The procedure is quick, with minimal pain and downtime.
