Expert Evaluation and Treatment for Skin Concerns
At Pulmonary & Medical Associates, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of skin concerns. Our in-office skin biopsy and lesion removal services allow for quick and accurate evaluation of abnormal skin changes. Whether you notice a suspicious mole, an unusual rash, or a skin lesion that is changing in size, shape, or color, our experienced providers are here to help you take proactive steps toward maintaining healthy skin.
What Is a Skin Biopsy
A skin biopsy is a simple and minimally invasive procedure. During the biopsy, we remove a small sample of skin and send it to a lab for analysis. This test helps us determine if the skin condition is benign, inflammatory, or cancerous. Common reasons for a biopsy include evaluating moles, rashes, unexplained growths, or skin changes.
What to Expect During Your Skin Biopsy
The procedure takes place right in our office. We start by numbing the area with a local anesthetic, then carefully remove a small section of skin using a specialized tool. Afterward, we apply a bandage and provide care instructions. Most patients experience only mild discomfort and can return to normal activities the same day.
Lesion Removal Services
In addition to biopsies, we offer lesion removal for both medical and cosmetic reasons. This includes removing skin tags, warts, cysts, or concerning moles. Our providers perform these removals with precision and care, focusing on effective treatment and minimal scarring.
Why Early Evaluation Is Important
Detecting skin abnormalities early can lead to faster diagnosis and treatment. Conditions like skin cancer are more treatable when identified early. Even minor changes should be examined by a medical professional to rule out more serious concerns.
