Removing a probable “traumatic lipoma” on the forehead

This patient is the same person who had the brown bumps, aka dermatosis papulosa nigra, on her cheeks and neck, removed with laser treatment with the Iriderm laser.

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.

This patient is the same person with the stubborn blackhead/keratin plug extractions on the nose, just recently posted. THIS is the reason that she came to see me in the first place. She has had a mole on her chin, that was treated with a laser many years ago. She doesn’t like the appearance of […]

Update: Results after removing this bump 5 months ago

Sorry, I accidentally deleted this video from my youtube yesterday. This patient has a seborrheic keratosis, aka a “wisdom spot” on her left cheek. These are benign growths, but people don’t like the appearance of them so they often request removal. The most common method of removal is probably treatment with liquid nitrogen spray. However, […]
