Skin lesions are irregular, superficial growths on the skin. These are mainly caused by certain diseases or conditions. Lesions are categorized under the following groups:
These vary in texture and color. Primary lesions are usually present on skin at birth in the form of birthmarks or moles. In some cases, the lesions may be a result of disease, an allergic reaction, or environmental factors.
These lesions are characterized as changes occurring in the skin due to a pre-existing skin lesion. Patients usually bring these on by scratching. In many cases, secondary skin lesions occur due to natural progression.
The treatment option for skin lesions depends on various factors such as the overall health of patient, the type of skin lesion, and its cause. The most common and fastest way of treating skin lesions is to remove them. The process involves administering a local anesthetic to the patient. Then the surgeon will shave it down or remove it. In some cases, stitches may be required after the treatment. This depends on the skin lesion size.
Skin lesions should be taken seriously. These may be a sign of a more serious underlying health condition. Dr. Varkarakis and our partnering dermatologists can assess skin lesions and determine the best course of treatment. In many cases, we can eliminate skin lesions for an improved appearance.
