A couple of whiteheads extracted

This sweet gentleman came in for his biannual skin exam, and as we were finishing, he mentioned that he had a white bump on his right cheek that his wife wondered if we could evaluate and possibly treat. How could I resist? Have a great weekend everyone! source

A small punch of a cyst on the cheek. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. This man had a cyst on his left cheek, a firm bump under the skin. A small punch can be used to remove it. Since he has squeezed the area multiple times, emptying its contents, there is not much to extract, but as long as I get the entire cyst sac, […]

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 […]

Comedones & milia & Cutis Rhomboidalis Nuchae. For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. These are comedones and milia. Both are benign growths that occur on the face. In older individuals, comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) are caused by years of sun exposure. All the above growths can be expressed with a comedone extractor. The gentleman, whose small comedones I extract on the neck has deep […]

Dermatology: Removing a cerebriform nevus on the scalp

This patient saw me this week, and she told me about this bump on her scalp during the last few minutes of her appointment. I think she was scared to have it removed, but as you can see it is pretty simple to remove a bump like this, and it should be a pretty painless […]

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 […]
