Skin Lesions & Biopsies
Detailed assessment. Targeted treatment. Peace of mind.
When a mole, lump, ulcer, skin tag, or wound won’t heal, you deserve the care of a team that treats both the condition and you. SAWNY offers expert surgical evaluation, biopsy services, and removal of skin lesions, ensuring that you’re not just treated, but fully understood and supported.
What We Look For
Skin lesions encompass a wide range of concerns: moles that change in shape or color; lumps or bumps beneath the skin; non-healing ulcers, skin tags that cause persistent irritation; and wounds that linger despite treatment. Some are benign and purely cosmetic, while others may be precancerous or cancerous. At SAWNY, our surgeons evaluate location, size, symptoms, and your personal risk factors to determine whether observation, biopsy, or removal is the right call.
Biopsy & Treatment Options
When a definitive diagnosis cannot be made through a physical exam or imaging alone, a biopsy is the next step. Methods include: fine-needle aspiration, punch biopsy, core biopsy, or excisional biopsy—some of which can be done right in the office. Once a pathologist reviews the tissue sample, we’ll partner with you to choose the best treatment. For lesions that require removal, depending on size and location, many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, often allowing you to return home the same day.
Care Built Around Your Needs
Every case is unique. At SAWNY, you’ll meet a surgeon who listens, takes time to explain options in a way you understand, and designs a plan aligned with your health goals and lifestyle. If your skin condition is connected to work or a work-related injury, we’re experienced in managing patients through workers’ compensation processes as well. When you’re ready, schedule your visit and we’ll find the right care for you.
