Skin

Epidermoid cysts represent the most common cutaneous cysts. While they may occur anywhere on the body, they occur most frequently on the face, scalp, neck, and trunk. Such cysts occur when surface skin elements are underneath the top layer of skin.

Depending on size and location, most often the cyst can be removed in an in-office procedure. The cyst removal procedure involves injecting the site with a numbing medication, waiting for it to reach anesthetic effect, and then excising the lesion. The site is then sutured closed, if necessary.

Cancer of the skin is the most common type of cancer. Treatment consists of excision of the lesion and reconstruction of the defect. Reconstruction may involve complex plastic surgery techniques.

Cosmetic removal of non-cancerous lesions can also be done. Please call or consider a consult regarding pricing.

There are many options now available to patients to treat scars from excision to laser treatments. Please schedule a consult to find out what options are available and the best choice for you.

Skin reconstruction is an option for those who want to decrease the visual evidence of injuries or lessen appearance of scars from skin cancer or other surgeries. Skin reconstruction may involve a skin graft or skin flap to repair areas of the skin. The procedure will vary depending on the severity of the case and location on the body.
