Acne TreatmentMany options are available for the treatment of acne ranging from spot treatments and cleansers to medication. Mohs Micrographic SurgeryMohs micrographic surgery has the highest cure rate for basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas. Mohs surgery is unique in its precision. Instead of removing the whole clinically visible tumor and a large area of normal-appearing skin around it, the Mohs surgeon removes the minimum amount of healthy tissue and totally removes the cancer. Thin layers of tissue are removed and examined under a microscope for malignant (cancerous) cells. When all areas of tissue are tumor-free, surgery is complete.

Mole Removal and TreatmentMoles that display abnormal traits should be removed to ensure they are not pre-cancerous or cancerous. A dermatologist is able to determine if a mole is irregular and needs to be removed. Moles may also be removed for aesthetic purposes.

Wart RemovalA wart is a rough growth caused by one of a number of strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are unsightly and can impede normal function. Wart removal by a physician is the most effective method for removing warts. A physician may perform cryosurgery using liquid nitrogen, use blistering agents or salicylic acid, apply a variety of topical or injected chemicals to stimulate the immune system’s response, or burn the wart with a laser. Most warts require repeated wart removal treatment over a period of time for permanent removal regardless of the method being used.
