A biopsy is a medical procedure in which a small sample of tissue is taken from the body to be examined for signs of disease or abnormality. It is usually done to diagnose or rule out conditions such as cancer, infections, or inflammatory diseases. The sample is typically taken using a needle or surgical tool, and it is sent to a laboratory for analysis. Depending on the location and size of the biopsy, the procedure may be done with local anesthesia or under general anesthesia.

Mole removal is a simple procedure where a dermatologist removes a mole from your skin. Moles are usually harmless, but sometimes they can change in shape, size, or color, which can indicate a problem. Mole removal is typically done with a surgical blade, laser, or electric current. The procedure is usually quick and painless and can be done in a dermatologist's office. After the mole is removed, it may be sent to a lab for testing to ensure it's not cancerous.

A lipoma is a non cancerous (benign) lump that forms due to an overgrowth of fat cells. You can get a lipoma anywhere on the body where you have fat cells.

Cryosurgery is a simple and effective treatment that uses extreme cold temperatures to remove abnormal or unwanted tissue, such as warts or skin tags. During the procedure, a medical professional applies liquid nitrogen or another freezing agent to the affected area, causing the tissue to freeze and eventually fall off. It's a quick and virtually painless way to remove skin lesions without the need for incisions or sutures.

Excisions are a surgical procedure used to remove skin lesions or tumors. It involves cutting out the affected area along with a margin of healthy skin. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and may require sutures to close the incision. Excisions are commonly used to remove skin cancers, moles, cysts, and other growths. The goal of the procedure is to completely remove the lesion while minimizing scarring and ensuring that the entire affected area is removed. With proper care, most patients recover quickly and are left with minimal scarring.

Skin cancer is a disease that develops when skin cells grow abnormally and form a mass or lesion on the skin. There are different types of skin cancer, but most cases are caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. Early detection and treatment of skin cancer are crucial, so it's important to regularly check your skin for any unusual changes, such as new moles, sores that won't heal, or changes in the size, shape, or color of existing moles. Protecting your skin from the sun and avoiding indoor tanning can help prevent skin cancer.

Cysts are small sacs or bumps that can appear on the skin and are often filled with fluid or other material. They can be found anywhere on the body and vary in size and shape. Cysts are usually painless and harmless but can become infected or inflamed, causing discomfort or irritation. In some cases, a dermatologist may need to remove a cyst to prevent infection or for cosmetic reasons. It is important to seek medical attention if a cyst becomes painful, inflamed, or changes in appearance.
