Introduction
Skin lesions are incredibly common, and most of the time, they’re no big deal. But when something on your skin starts to look or feel “off,” like maybe it’s that mole that’s changed its shape or a spot that keeps scabbing over. These subtle signs could point to something benign, or they could be an early signal of a skin cancer or precancerous condition.
At A New You Plastic Surgery in the Chicago land area, Dr. Rajendra Shah specializes in evaluating and treating all types of skin lesions, from cosmetic nuisances to more serious medical concerns. Using advanced surgical techniques and an eye for aesthetics, they make sure you not only stay healthy but also walk away with minimal scarring and the most natural-looking results possible.
Skin lesion treatment refers to the evaluation, biopsy, and removal of abnormal skin growths, ranging from benign moles and cysts to precancerous or cancerous lesions. The approach we take will depend on the type, location, and size of the lesion. Treatments may include simple excision, curettage, cryotherapy, or laser removal.
You may be a candidate for skin lesion treatment if you have any growth on your skin that is changing in size, shape, or color, or simply if a lesion is bothersome or cosmetically distracting. Those with a personal or family history of skin cancer should be especially proactive. Dr. Rajendra Shah or Dr. Samir Shah will assess your lesion during your consultation to determine whether biopsy, removal, or monitoring is the best course of action.
Skin lesion treatments not only improve your appearance by removing unsightly or distracting growth, but they can also prevent further medical complications. Early intervention can stop potentially cancerous changes in their tracks. Treatments are quick, effective, and usually performed in-office with minimal downtime. Patients walk away feeling reassured and refreshed, with smoother, clearer skin.
Start by scheduling an in-office consultation at A New You Plastic Surgery. Dr. Rajendra Shah will perform a detailed skin exam, discuss your concerns, and determine if the lesion should be biopsied or removed. If treatment is needed, you’ll receive a customized plan outlining what to expect and how to prepare. Our goal is to make sure you’re informed and at ease from start to finish.
Most treatments are performed in-office under local anesthesia. The area is numbed, and the lesion is carefully excised or biopsied. Depending on the location and size, sutures may be placed to help close the wound and minimize scarring. You’ll be given aftercare instructions and a follow-up appointment to check healing. Pathology results (if applicable) are typically available within one week.
As a plastic surgeon, my goal is to improve the quality of my patients’ lives. I believe every person deserves to feel confident in their appearance, and for many, facial rejuvenation is an empowering step toward that goal. Whether restoring definition after aging changes or enhancing natural harmony, this journey is as emotional as it is physical.
