This man asked me about this small bump on the center of his chest. You can’t see it well, but you can feel it. He has a small epidermoid cyst in the area, that I removed today, via punch biopsy tool. An epidermoid cyst is also called a sebaceous cyst, and is a benign growth, […]
I have many Vietnam vets as patients, since many of them were in the sun for extended periods when they were enlisted. This patient also had a suspicious looking mole on the back of his neck and a larger superficial (non life threatening) skin cancer on the right front of his neck. I’m treating the […]
This is a lovely patient of mine, who recently completed chemotherapy and radiation treatments due to breast cancer. She noticed this lump on her cheek that has grown quite rapidly in the last year.

This patient is one of the first patients that I have filmed with blackheads on the back. Posted her first video about 6 months ago. She comes in twice a year for skin cancer monitoring. I didn’t have to convince her too much to undergo another set of blackhead extractions. She would do it herself, […]
This patient has an epidermoid cyst (aka a sebaceous cyst) on her right axilla/armpit.

As you know, these growths are benign and don’t need to be removed for any […]
This lovely patient of mind has a lipoma on the right Inguinal area (right inner thigh right at the crease). She was told my her primary care doc that this is a benign growth (which is correct) and that it didn’t need to be removed. However, she hates that the lump is visible when she […]
This patient had a rash on his lower back that one of my physician assistants was treating. She brought me in to take a look, and I couldn’t help but notice this epidermoid cyst he had on his back. I asked him if he would like me to remove it for him, and if I […]
