MOLE, CYST AND WART REMOVAL

Mole Removal: Moles are very common skin growths which are usually small and tan or brownish, are sometimes raised, and may occasionally change shape or color. Dermatologists remove moles to improve appearance, to prevent the mole from enlarging, or to prevent cancer.

Moles that are irritated by daily living are should be removed. These moles may interfere with shaving or may rub against clothing. The techniques used to remove these moles are the same as those used to remove moles that are cosmetically undesirable. Cysts, mole, and skin tags are very common occurrences on the body and face. They can however be the source of self-consciousness, embarrassment or even discomfort for many men and women of all ages. Cysts, moles, and skin tags can, however, be removed quickly and is a very simple procedure performed on an outpatient basis. Your cyst, mole, or skin tag removal will be performed on site in Board Certified Dermatologist

Cyst Removal: Cysts (also know as sebaceous cysts) are small closed sacs that contain fluid or solid material. A cyst is an infection and requires that the dermatologist drain the contents and sometimes surgically remove the cyst. Sebaceous cysts most often arise from swollen hair follicles. Skin trauma can also induce a cyst to form. A sac of cells is created into which a protein called keratin is secreted. Cysts are usually found on the face, neck, and trunk. They are usually slow- growing, painless, freely movable lumps beneath the skin. Occasionally, however, a cyst will become inflamed and tender.

Symptoms of a Cyst Include:
- usually a nontender, small lump beneath the skin
- redness, tenderness, or increased temperature of the skin over the area may occur infection
- grayish white, cheesy, foul smelling material may drain from the cyst
The dermatologist removes cysts by the injection of steroid medications.

Wart Removal: Warts are caused by a virus and consist of piled up layers of skin. Warts may develop on people of all ages anywhere on the skin. Some warts require, cryosurgery, curettage, electrosurgery, injections with chemicals, or laser surgery. Your cyst, mole, skin tag, can removed in less than twenty minutes in the dermatologist's office.

Skin-Tag Removal: A skin tag is a soft, skin-colored growth that hangs from the surface of the skin on a thin piece of tissue called a stalk. Its medical name is acrochordon. Skin tags are not skin cancer and cannot turn into skin cancer.

Skin tags typically appear as people age. Skin tags are quite common in people 60 and older. Skin tags are more common in women. A tendency to develop skin tags may run in families. Skin tags also develop commonly after pregnancy.

Skin tags appear most often in skin folds of the neck, armpits, torso, beneath the breasts or in the genital region. They can become an irritation if they occur in an area where clothing or jewelry rubs against them, and they may be unsightly.
