Understanding Benign Lesions

Benign lesions are non-cancerous growths that can appear anywhere on the body. While they are generally harmless, these growths can sometimes be a source of discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concern. Common types of benign lesions include:

Moles: Also known as nevi, moles can vary in size, shape, and color. While most moles are harmless, some may need to be monitored or removed if they exhibit changes over time.

Skin Tags: Skin tags are small, soft growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They are typically painless but can be removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become bothersome.

Seborrheic Keratoses: These are raised, waxy, and often pigmented growths that tend to appear on the face, chest, back, or other areas. They are usually benign but can be removed if they cause itching, irritation, or aesthetic concerns.

And many more!

Our Approach to Benign Lesion Removal

At Clearview Dermatology, we understand that each patient's situation is unique. Our dermatologists conduct thorough assessments to determine the nature of your benign lesion, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. We prioritize your comfort and well-being throughout the process, offering both non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques tailored to your needs.

Removal Techniques

Our expert dermatologists utilize various techniques for benign lesion removal, including:

Shave Excision: This non-invasive procedure involves using a scalpel to gently shave off the lesion from the skin's surface. It's suitable for smaller lesions and typically leaves minimal scarring.

Electrocautery: This method uses electrical currents to burn and remove the lesion. It's effective for small lesions like skin tags and can offer immediate results.

Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy involves freezing the lesion using liquid nitrogen. This is commonly used for seborrheic keratoses and results in the lesion falling off over time.

Laser Therapy: Laser technology can be used to vaporize or remove certain types of benign lesions, promoting skin healing and regeneration.

Surgical Excision: This method involves cutting out the lesion and closing the wound with precisely placed sutures. 

Your Comfort, Your Confidence

At Clearview Dermatology, we recognize that undergoing any procedure, no matter how minor, can be a significant decision. That's why we prioritize patient education and communication, ensuring you're fully informed about the procedure, its expected outcomes, and aftercare instructions.
