Skin Lesions Commonly Treated with Excision
Dermatologic excision may be recommended for a variety of benign skin growths, including:
- Lipomas: Soft fatty growths located beneath the skin.
- Epidermoid and Pilar Cysts: Encapsulated lesions that may enlarge or become inflamed.
- Dermatofibromas: Firm benign nodules often found on the arms or legs.

Your Excision Procedure Experience
Benign growth excision is performed as a comfortable outpatient procedure using local anesthesia.
During treatment:
- The area is carefully numbed
- The growth is surgically removed in its entirety
- Tissue may be sent for pathological evaluation if indicated
- The skin is precisely closed to support optimal healing
Most procedures take 30–60 minutes, and patients return home the same day.
Our goal is safe removal with excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes.
Preparation and Post-Procedure Care
Your visit begins with a detailed skin evaluation and discussion of treatment options.
After excision, patients receive individualized aftercare instructions designed to:
- Promote proper healing
- Reduce infection risk
- Support scar minimization
- Ensure appropriate follow-up care
Our team monitors healing and communicates pathology results when applicable.
