Skin growths refer to abnormal masses of skin tissue that appear on the surface of the skin. These growths can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hormonal imbalances, exposure to sunlight, infection, or simply aging. Skin growths can take on a variety of forms, sizes, shapes, and colors, and can be unattractive and cause emotional distress for those affected.
At Neighborhood Medical Center, we offer safe and effective removal services for a range of skin growths, including skin lesions, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which are types of skin cancer that develop in the basal and squamous cells of the skin. These growths can appear as scaly patches, open sores, or reddish bumps that bleed easily. We also provide removal services for warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which are small, rough, and raised bumps that most commonly occur on the hands and feet.
In addition, we offer removal services for moles, which are usually benign but can sometimes be cancerous. Moles can appear as brown, black, or flesh-colored spots on the skin, and can be flat or raised. We also remove benign growths such as lipomas, which are soft, fatty lumps that develop under the skin, and seborrheic keratoses, which are often mistaken for warts but are harmless. Lastly, we provide removal services for actinic keratoses, which are precancerous lesions caused by sun exposure. These growths can appear as rough, scaly patches on the skin, and can become cancerous if left untreated.
Moreover, we also provide removal services for skin tags, which are small, benign growths that can appear anywhere on the body. Skin tags can be flesh-colored or slightly darker than the surrounding skin, and can be smooth or wrinkled. Additionally, we offer removal services for cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs that can form under the skin. Cysts can be caused by a variety of factors, including infection, injury, or heredity, and can range in size from a pea to a golf ball.
Our removal procedures are performed by experienced healthcare professionals using the latest techniques and equipment, ensuring that our patients receive the best possible care. We understand that skin growths can cause anxiety and discomfort for many individuals, and we are dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized care to help our patients feel comfortable and at ease.
