Do you have a skin lesion you’ve been meaning to get checked out or removed? We can help! Lesion removal is a simple outpatient procedure done right in our clinic.

Most procedures take only a few minutes and we use local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Recovery is typically quick, with minimal aftercare. After removal, we send the sample to a pathology lab, if needed, for diagnosis and next steps in your care.

Lesion removal is a simple procedure we often do in-office. Common types include:
•Moles – Dark spots or bumps on the skin that can be flat or raised.
•Skin Tags – Small, soft flaps of skin, often found on the neck, armpits, or eyelids.
•Cysts – Round, fluid-filled lumps under the skin that may feel sore or swollen.
•Warts – Rough, bumpy growths usually on hands or feet, caused by a virus.
•Lipomas – Soft, squishy lumps under the skin made of fat—usually harmless but can grow.

Whether it’s for comfort, appearance, or peace of mind, our friendly team will walk you through every step and make sure you feel at ease.

Call us at 574-251-1200 or visit primarycaresb.ourscheduling.com/1603/doctors to schedule your appointment.
