What Are Benign Growths?
Benign growths are non-cancerous lumps, bumps, or lesions that can appear on the skin. Common types include:
- Moles: Small, dark growths that are usually brown or black.
- Skin Tags: Soft, fleshy growths that often appear in areas where the skin folds.
- Seborrheic Keratoses: Wart-like growths that can be tan, brown, or black.
- Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can develop under the skin.
While these growths are typically harmless, they may cause cosmetic concerns or irritation due to rubbing against clothing or jewelry.
How Benign Growth Removal Works
At Atlantic Dermatology, our dermatologists use a variety of techniques to remove benign growths safely and effectively:
- Excision: The growth is cut out with a scalpel, and the wound is closed with sutures.
- Cryotherapy: The growth is frozen off using liquid nitrogen.
- Electrosurgery: The growth is removed with an electric current that both excises the tissue and cauterizes the area to minimize bleeding.
- Laser Treatment: A targeted laser is used to remove the growth with precision and minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
