Two dermatology skin biopsies: An angioma & a cutaneous horn

These are skin conditions we see on nearly a daily basis, and here you can see how a dermatologist biopsies two areas.
The first is an angioma, which is a benign vascular abnomality. There are also called cherry angiomas, and 100% of us get at least one by 18 years old. They don’t need to be removed, but those that are raised can be bothersome.
The second biopsy is of a cutaneous horn, a squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, growing upwards and outwards, creating a horn-like growth. When a biopsy confirms the diagnosis of this type of skin cancer, further treatment with an excision or other treatment is probably required to make sure the skin cancer is removed completely. The good news about this type of skin cancer, is that it is locally destructive when it is this small in size – it is not life-threatening, but needs to be removed completely so that it won’t grow larger and become more locally destructive.
Thank you for watching!!
