Electrodesiccation

At Dermatology & Skin Cancer Surgery Center, we treat each patient with the utmost care and offer numerous alternatives for skin cancer treatment. Electrodesiccation and curettage is an outpatient procedure that removes skin growths from specific areas on the body where precancerous or cancerous growths may exist. This simple procedure treats small lesions by scraping the skin down to the unaffected layer. The procedure eliminates cancerous cells and lesions on the skin, as well as those that are diagnosed as benign. This treatment causes minor scarring and mild discomfort. It has remained a proven and effective substitute for surgery and is used in cases where the growth only affects the top layers of the skin. Our skilled providers will use patience and precision to ensure that your procedure goes smoothly and that scarring is kept to a minimum.
