An excision is a procedure in which an entire lesion or suspicious area of skin is carefully removed for further evaluation. This technique is often used when a provider wants to remove and fully examine a mole, cyst, or possible skin cancer.

Because the full lesion is removed, excision biopsies can serve both a diagnostic and treatment purpose. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and stitches are typically placed afterward to promote healing. 🤍

A punch biopsy is a procedure used to obtain a deeper sample of skin for accurate diagnosis. Using a small circular instrument, a tiny section of skin is removed to evaluate conditions involving deeper layers of the skin.

Punch biopsies are commonly used to help diagnose rashes, inflammatory skin conditions, suspicious lesions, and certain types of skin cancer. The area is numbed beforehand, and stitches may occasionally be placed depending on the size of the biopsy. 🩺

A shave biopsy is a quick and commonly performed procedure used to evaluate suspicious or abnormal skin lesions. During the procedure, a thin layer of skin is carefully removed for examination under a microscope. Shave biopsies are often used for raised moles, growths, or spots that may need further evaluation.

The procedure is typically fast, minimally invasive, and performed with local anesthesia for patient comfort. ☀️

Carcinoma and melanoma are both forms of skin cancer, but they can look very different. Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are typically more common and may appear as red, pink, scaly, or non-healing lesions — especially in sun-exposed areas. Melanoma is less common but more aggressive and often presents as an irregular or changing mole with multiple colors. ☀️

Knowing what to watch for and scheduling routine skin exams can help with early detection and treatment. If you notice a new, changing, or concerning spot, don’t ignore it. 🤍

You may have heard your dermatologist mention “freezing” a spot with liquid nitrogen — but what is it actually used for? ❄️

Liquid nitrogen is an extremely cold treatment commonly used in dermatology to remove certain skin lesions by freezing abnormal or damaged cells. It is often used to treat actinic keratoses (precancerous spots), warts, seborrheic keratoses, and other benign skin growths.

After treatment, the area may blister or scab before healing. This quick in-office procedure is an important tool for preventing and treating certain skin conditions early. ☀️

When detected early, skin cancer is highly treatable. Schedule your yearly skin exam today.

Know the ABCDEs of melanoma:
A — Asymmetry
B — Border irregularity
C — Color variation
D — Diameter
E — Evolving

If a mole or spot looks different, changes over time, itches, or bleeds, it’s important to have it evaluated by a dermatologist. Early detection saves lives. 🤍

A full-body skin exam is one of the best tools for early skin cancer detection. During these exams, your dermatologist carefully evaluates the skin from head to toe — including easy-to-miss areas like the scalp, nails, and back. ☀️

Early detection can make all the difference. If you notice any new or changing spots, schedule your total skin check today.
