Common Dermatologic Surgical Procedures
Some of the most common surgical procedures our doctor performs at Pop Dermatology include the following:
Cancerous Growth Excision
Should you have a cancerous growth on your skin, our doctor may recommend surgical excision to eliminate it. During this procedure, she will remove the entire tumor or mass, as well as surrounding tissue that may be affected. This procedure is meant to stop the spread of cancerous cells and lessen the likelihood of recurrence.
Benign Skin Growth Removal
Many people develop benign skin growths such as cysts, moles, warts, and skin tags, which can all be bothersome or even unsightly. Fortunately, our doctor can surgically remove them quickly and relatively painlessly.
Deroofing for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful nodules to form in areas where the skin often rubs together. Deroofing is a surgical technique used to remove these nodules and reduce the recurrence of symptoms.
Biopsies
Skin biopsies involve excising a small tissue sample for further examination. This procedure helps us diagnose skin conditions like cancer or other inflammatory diseases.
