Details

Lesion removal is usually performed under local anesthetic...

and is an essentially painless procedure. Most often, the growth is removed by carefully shaving the lesion even with the surrounding skin. No stitches are required. This offers the best method to avoid a scar, match the surrounding contours, and eliminate the risk of pigment loss that can be a problem with freezing a lesion off. Additionally, this method provides a sample or specimen for evaluation and will confirm if the lesion is cancerous. When appropriate, we can also utilize a multitude of other techniques for skin lesion removal, including chemical peels, laser resurfacing, Intense pulsed light, dermabrasion, electrical cautery devices, and more involved surgical procedures. Afterward, a small paper tape dressing or ointment is applied and you should be able to immediately return to your normal activities.
