Removing skin tags and “wisdom spots”. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. Removing via snip excision, seborrheic keratoses and verrucous keratoses, aka “wisdom spots” and skin tags, that commonly occur around the neck. It’s not “medically necessary” to remove these, but as you can see, many people want them off, particularly because they are tough to disguise and they can get caught on […]

Blackheads & Whiteheads on the Nose. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. Some lucky days I find patients with comedones that are extremely impressive (I love those days!). Other days, I just get mediocre comedones. Today was one of those latter days. Do you want me to post everything I record, like today? I feel like you do. It’s like gambling or fishing, […]

Four minor Derm procedures: Milia, a blackhead, & a tag. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. 1. Small and numerous milia on younger patients are best treated with electrocautery at a very low setting.. this cauterizes the superficial surface of the skin, so that the milia is exposed and will pop out over the next couple of days. Can also be used to “pop” pustules, and shrink […]

Blackheads again. Some of my patients are chatty. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. She let me extract her blackheads in exchange for firing as many questions at me that she could. Haha. Sometimes patients just want to talk, and she’s a sweetie, but she’s a talker! 😉 source

Keloid treatment with cryoshape (her second treatment). For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. She had a pretty big keloid on her left earlobe, and 5 months ago, she travelled from another state to see me! We treated the area that day with cryoshape, which essentially destroys the keloid with frostbite… by freezing the keloid from the inside out. It took a while for the […]

This. Is a GREAT pilar cyst extraction. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. She is so sweet to let us film the removal of her pilar cysts. She has a few of them, and this one is the biggest. They are benign, but they are bumpy and can be embarrassing. They are fun to remove because they are a challenge to pop out whole […]

Punch of an epidermoid cyst behind the ear. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. This patient came to see me for Mohs skin cancer surgery to remove a skin cancer next to his eye. He asked If I could remove an epidermoid cyst he had behind his ear when we were finished with his skin cancer surgery. My staff was a little annoyed I think, […]

Cyst within a scar, excised. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. An example that not all cysts are easy to remove. When a cyst has been partially excised in the past (as in this case) or has been inflamed or infected previously, there is much fibrosis and scarring making it very difficult to remove a cyst whole and almost impossible to squeeze […]

Milia. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. Milia are superficial small cysts just below the skin surface. They are common and benign, but cannot be extracted by just squeezing like many blackheads/comedones can. A nick has to be made in the skin in order to squeeze them out with a comedone extractor. This can hurt, but this woman […]
