Flat warts, a venous lake, a blackhead, and a biopsy. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. I. Flat warts, aka verruca plana, are caused by a virus. They can be spread on the skin in a linear direction due to “Koebnerization”. In other words, they can be spread by shaving the legs or scratching the skin-this minor trauma to the skin can drag the virus from one […]

First snapchat vid: Cyst excision on the back. For medical education- NSFE

This is an excision of a small cyst on the back. This cyst has been inflamed in the past, so there is some scar tissue present. It is smaller than it usually is on the day of this excision which is good, since, this will lead to a smaller incision and a smaller scar. It’s […]

Blackheads on the back

This patient of mine came in for a total body skin check. During this examination, I noticed numerous blackheads on the back. Blackheads are open comedones, follicles/pores that have dilated and are filled with keratin/ skin cells. They can be extracted using a comedone extractor as you see here, but often when they are larger […]

Solar comedones extracted, aka Favre Racouchot

This patient’s wife saw me today, for her general body skin exam. As they were leaving, she showed me a couple spots he had, and I couldn’t help but notice the large solar comedones that he had around his eyes. He let me remove them, and his wife was happy that I did! Solar comedones […]

Some stubborn milia

Initially, I thought these bumps lateral to this patient’s left eye were solar comedones due to their location and his history of chronic sun exposure. However, the bumps extracted were pearly, slightly firm tiny cysts, so I believe they were milia. Milia are very superficial cysts which commonly occur on the face, in particular around […]

Dermatology: Removing a growth from the inguinal area. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. This patient had a fleshy, grape-sized growth right in the crease of her inner thigh (this is called the inguinal area). Since it is sessile, almost pedunculated (terms we use to describe its shape) it can easily be removed by numbing the base and using sharp serrated scissors, much like I […]

General dermatology: Treating a large earlobe keloid. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. This patient has a pretty large keloid on his left earlobe, triggered by an ear piercing. Keloids occur most often on the earlobes, the chest, back, and upper arms. It is when scar tissue from an episode of “trauma” gets hyperexcited and grows beyond the bounds of the original wound. Usually […]
