Dr. Schlotter removes skin lesions, small skin cancers, superficial “lumps & bumps”, lipomas, and a range of other skin-related procedures. These minor operations are usually performed in the office, often during your initial evaluation. The small incisions are frequently closed with dissolvable sutures which are under the skin, leaving a neat wound which requires little post-operative care. Dr. Schlotter performs a variety of skin procedures, including but not limited to:
- Cryotherapy (destruction of skin lesions)
- Excision of skin cancer
- Excisional biopsies
- Incision & drainage (I&D) abscess
- Pilonidal cystectomy
- Punch biopsies
- Scar revision
- Skin tag removal
- Wide excisions
