A skin lesion may be classified as benign, premalignant or malignant. Classifying a lesion as such is vital to your health. Dr. Carroll provides an accurate diagnosis based on the appearance of the lesion and the patient’s clinical history. Based on the diagnosis, a biopsy may be required.
Most common skin lesions such as moles and tags are benign. A premalignant or precancerous skin lesion carries an increased risk of cancer. Malignant skin lesions must be treated immediately. Knowing the similarities and differences between these lesions allows Dr. Carroll to make a proper diagnosis.
Any changing growths on the skin, including changes in color, shape, or size, should be seen by a Dermatologist as soon as possible. If a lesion is new, starts bleeding, or is painful, it can be a sign of a cancerous or pre-cancerous lesion, and it must be evaluated immediately.
When addressing the removal of lipoma, cysts, dysplastic nevi, and pilar cysts, a common approach involves the use of a general incision method.
