A benign growth on the skin is a non-cancerous, often harmless, abnormal cell cluster. These growths, such as seborrheic keratosis, dermatosa papulosa nigra, or skin tags, do not typically pose health risks.

Removal of a benign skin growth in a medical office usually involves numbing the area, followed by surgical excision, cryotherapy (freezing), laser therapy, or electrosurgery, depending on the type and size of the growth.

During a benign growth removal in a medical office, expect a healthcare provider to numb the area, perform the chosen removal procedure (e.g., cutting, freezing, or laser treatment), and apply any necessary dressings. Minor discomfort, redness, or swelling may follow, with healing occurring over a few days to weeks. Follow post-removal care instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

At Bad Skin, removals start at $50.00. Prices may vary dependent on severity.
