At Tague Family Practice, we understand how skin lesions can cause discomfort and affect your self-confidence. That's why we offer excision as an effective treatment option for various types of skin lesions.
Excision refers to the surgical removal of a skin lesion or tumor from any part of the body. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia and involves cutting out the lesion using a scalpel or other surgical instruments.
The skin is first cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic to minimize any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Then, our expert medical team carefully removes the skin lesion, ensuring that all abnormal tissue is excised. The wound is then closed using stitches or other closure methods, depending on the size and location of the lesion.
Excision can be used to treat a variety of skin lesions, including moles, cysts, lipomas, warts, and skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and melanoma. It is also an effective treatment for non-cancerous lesions that may be causing symptoms or discomfort.
Anyone with a bothersome skin lesion, whether it's for cosmetic reasons or medical concerns, can benefit from excision. Our experienced medical team will assess your individual case and determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.

The area will be numbed with local anesthesia before the procedure, so you should not feel any pain during the excision. Some discomfort and soreness may be experienced after the anesthesia wears off, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The recovery time can vary depending on the size and location of the lesion. In most cases, the wound will heal within a few weeks, and any stitches or dressings can be removed after 1-2 weeks. Our medical team will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to help promote healing.
There is always a chance of scarring with any surgical procedure. However, our medical team uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring, and the appearance of the scar can continue to improve over time.
