If you have a scar from an injury or a previous surgery that you’re tired of seeing, scar revision treatment could be the answer for you. This is an outpatient procedure that can be completed in a few minutes in the office or in a short time in the operating room, depending on the size and location of the scarring.
The common treatment for skin cancer is surgery performed in the office using a local anesthetic (numbing medicine). The treatment depends on the type and size of the cancer, but typically, basal cell, melanomas, and squamous skin cancers can be removed.
A skin lesion is an area of abnormality that may come in the form of a lump, sore, or discoloration. During a skin biopsy, a small portion of that area of skin is removed to be examined further to diagnose skin cancer or other conditions.
