While benign, multiple types of growths in or on the skin and soft tissues can be aesthetically displeasing, painful, or cause decreased quality of life. Our dermatological surgeons perform skin surgery to help people in Medford, OR, and throughout the Rogue Region enjoy healthy skin and peace of mind.
Benign masses are common reasons for visiting a dermatologist and are easily addressed. Please note minor surgeries for these lesions require preparation of both staff and resources and are not performed on the same day.
Epidermoid cysts typically form in hair follicles and are filled with keratin and lipid-rich debris. They can be surgically excised with minimal scarring for typically long-lasting relief.
Lipomas often form just under the skin in the subcutaneous tissue. They are noncancerous tumors made of fat cells. They can be surgically excised or treated with the “squeeze technique,” in which your surgeon makes an incision over the area and squeezes the tumor out through it.
Closed comedones (whiteheads) and open comedones (blackheads) are quite common forms of acne, but they can cause issues if they become enlarged or especially deep. Your provider will use a special tool to safely extract the blockage without causing infection or damage to the surrounding skin.
The cost of skin surgery at our Medford dermatology practice varies from person to person, depending on the complexity of the procedure. While surgery for benign concerns is not always covered by insurance, we do offer financing options to make your procedure more affordable.
If you have a benign concern you would like to remove, please get in touch with our board-certified dermatologists by booking online or calling (541) 200-2777. The Clinic for Dermatology & Wellness provides skin surgery for people from throughout Southern Oregon and Northern California.
When it comes to skin cancer, time is of the essence. The sooner potential issues are identified, the higher the likelihood of successful treatment. Yearly skin cancer screenings are the cornerstone of early detection, enabling us to identify any warning signs and act swiftly. Think of your annual skin exam as your proactive step toward a lifetime of skin health.
