As we age, it’s not uncommon for various skin growths to appear. While conditions like liver spots and spider veins are often benign, the emergence of other growths can be concerning, sometimes mimicking the appearance of skin cancer. If you reside in Elk Grove Village or the surrounding areas and have a benign skin growth you’d like to have examined by experienced professionals, we invite you to schedule a consultation at Schaumburg Dermatology, conveniently located nearby.
Our approach begins with a thorough consultation to accurately determine the nature of your skin growth and the most appropriate course of action. We understand that it’s not your role to self-diagnose, so our expert dermatologists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation tailored to your specific case. During your consultation, we will discuss various aspects, including:
The most frequently employed method for removing benign skin growths is surgical excision. This straightforward procedure involves the complete removal of the growth from the skin’s surface. In most cases, the resulting small wound is closed during the same visit. Depending on the depth of the benign growth, the procedure is often relatively quick with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine promptly. However, if the benign growth extends into deeper layers of the skin, a local skin graft may be necessary to ensure proper healing and optimal cosmetic results.
