Ringworm (Tinea Corporis), is not a worm, but a fungal infection of the skin. This is a typical way it looks – one or more cirular, sharply circumscribed, red, scaly patch, often with central clearing, which give is this “ring” appearance. If people have pets, I often ask if they have noticed that their pet […]
This was a pretty sizeable cyst on the abdomen that Dr Rebish, excised from a small incision. It was friable, with a sac wall that easily broke down, so had to be broken and squeezed out, as you see here. As you know, these are benign growths, but can grow large and can be a […]

Another one of my dear, longstanding patients. This time, he asked that I remove annoying skin tags, aka acrochordon, around his neck that get caught on his clothes and jewelry. In the meantime, I noticed that he had pretty good blackheads! Hadn’t really noticed this on him in the past. See what you viewers are […]
