Skin Lesion Excision

Patients ask to have skin lesions or moles removed for a variety of reasons. For some, the mole has changed and the patient is concerned about the possibility of skin cancer. For others, the mole is symptomatic (pain, bleed, itch…) or they just don’t like how it looks. Generally, skin lesion excision is a very quick and relatively painless procedure that takes only about 10 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
