Surgical removal of skin lesions

Skin lesions such as fibromas, warts, spots, moles, or papillomas can be aesthetic concerns that affect our appearance and, consequently, our self-esteem. Such imperfections are not only cosmetic issues; they can sometimes signal the onset of serious conditions, including various types of cancer. Therefore, it’s advisable to consult a physician if you notice any suspicious skin lesions that are rapidly progressing or have irregular color and shape.

One of the most effective solutions for addressing these issues is the surgical removal of skin lesions. This approach not only removes the imperfection but also allows for histopathological examination of the excised tissue.

Before the procedure, the incision site is carefully cleaned and disinfected. Local anesthesia is then administered to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure. The doctor uses a scalpel to make a precise incision around the lesion, maintaining a margin of healthy tissue.

Depending on the size and location of the lesion, several stitches may be required to close the wound. The procedure typically takes between 15 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the complexity of the case.
