Expert Examination and Removal of Benign Skin Growths for Arlington Heights Residents

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 Arlington Heights 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.

Your Comprehensive Consultation

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 diagnose, so our expert dermatologists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation tailored to your specific case. During your consultation, we will discuss various aspects, including:

• Your current medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements.
• Your lifestyle habits, such as alcohol and tobacco use.
• Your past medical history, including any prior surgeries, existing medical conditions, and allergies.
• A detailed explanation of the recommended treatment options, potential outcomes, and any associated risks or complications.

Effective Benign Growth Removal

The most common and often most effective 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 small incision created during the excision is closed during the same visit. Depending on the depth of the growth, the procedure is often relatively quick with minimal downtime. 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.
