When to remove a skin lesion

Some skin lesions are harmless, but others require removal due to growth, pain, bleeding, cancer risk or aesthetic reasons. A proper diagnosis defines which to operate and which to just monitor.

What we evaluate

  • Lipomas (fatty lumps under the skin)
  • Sebaceous or epidermoid cysts
  • Atypical or growing moles
  • Lesions that bleed, hurt or get irritated
  • Skin tumors suspicious for malignancy

Do these symptoms sound familiar?

Surgical removal

Most skin lesions are removed in the office or operating room depending on size and location, with local anesthesia or sedation. The specimen is sent for histopathology to confirm the diagnosis when indicated.
