At Lake Wylie Dermatology, our board-certified dermatology team offers expert surgical care for a wide range of skin conditions. Whether addressing cosmetic concerns or managing medically necessary procedures, our goal is to provide safe, effective treatments tailored to your needs—all within the comfort of our office.
Comprehensive Skin Surgery Services
We perform a variety of minor surgical procedures designed to treat and manage both common and complex skin conditions. Our surgical services include:
Skin Biopsies
- To Rule Out Skin Cancers: Suspicious moles, growths, or lesions may require askin biopsy to determine if they are cancerous. This quick, in-office procedureallows us to accurately diagnose conditions such as basal cell carcinoma,squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
- For Unusual Rashes: Biopsies can also help diagnose persistent or atypical rashes that do not respond to standard treatments.
Excision (Removal) Procedures
- Small Skin Cancers: We carefully excise small, localized skin cancers to ensure complete removal and minimize the chance of recurrence.
- Cysts: Most small cysts, including sebaceous and epidermoid cysts, can be excised to prevent discomfort and infection.
- Moles: Benign or bothersome moles can be removed for cosmetic reasons or if they pose a potential health risk.
- Skin Tags: These harmless growths, often found on the neck, armpits, or eyelids, can be quickly and easily removed.
- Milia: These tiny white cysts often appearing on the face are treated through preciseextraction techniques.
Electrosurgery (ED&C)
When appropriate, we use Electrodesiccation and Curettage (ED&C)—a technique that involves scraping and cauterizing the skin—to treat superficial skin cancers like certain basal cell carcinomas.
Referral for Complex Cases
For conditions that require more advanced care—such as large tumors, deeply invasive cancers, or procedures near critical anatomical structures—we collaborate closely with trusted surgical dermatologists and other medical specialists to ensure you receive the best possible care.
Your skin health is our priority. If you notice any unusual growths, changes in moles, or persistent skin concerns, schedule a consultation with our experienced dermatology team today.
