Why You Might Need a Mole, Cyst, or Skin Tag Excision

Not all skin growths need treatment, but many patients choose excisions of moles, cysts, and skin tags for peace of mind, comfort, or cosmetic reasons. Moles may need removal if they change shape or color. Cysts can grow large or painful,interfering with daily life. Skin tags may snag on clothing or jewelry, causing irritation.

Excision of a mole, cyst, or skin tag is often the most effective way to completely remove these growths while minimizing the chance of recurrence.

What to Expect from Excisions of Moles, Cysts, and Skin Tags at Lilly Dermatology

Excision of a mole, cyst, skin tag, or another growth is a simple in-office procedure that prioritizes comfort and safety. We carefully numb the area, remove the growth, and close the skin if necessary. Most excisions of moles, cysts,and skin tags take less than 30 minutes, and patients are able to return to normal activities the same day.

You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions, and our team will be available to answer questions as you heal.

Excisions of Moles, Cysts, and Skin Tags: Understanding Different Types of Skin Growths

When to Remove a Mole

Moles are common and usually harmless, but some may develop changes that suggest a higher risk of skin cancer. If a mole becomes irregular in shape, changes color, or starts to bleed, it’s important to have it evaluated. Excision allows for complete removal and lab testing when needed.

Treating Painful or Inflamed Cysts

Cysts form under the skin and can range from small and painless to large, red, and tender. While some cysts shrink on their own, others may become infected or repeatedly return. Excision is often the most reliable treatment for cyst removal, offering both relief and reassurance.

Saying Goodbye to Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, soft growths that often appear on the neck, underarms, or eyelids. They are harmless but can be irritating when rubbed by clothing or jewelry. Quick excision removes skin tags safely and prevents them from interfering with your comfort.

Comfort, Safety, and Recovery You Can Trust

Patients are often surprised at how quick and easy excisions of moles, cysts, and skin tags can be. With local anesthesia, discomfort is minimal, and recovery is straightforward. Most patients heal quickly with only a small mark that fades with time. Dr. Mercy Odueyungbo and her team take every step to ensure that your experience feels safe and reassuring when you undergo an excision.

Common Questions About Excisions of Moles, Cysts & Skin Tags

“Does an excision of a mole, cyst, or skin tag hurt?”

Thanks to local anesthesia, most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is normal and usually short-lived.

“Will I have a scar?”

Any excision of a mole, cyst, or skin tag may leave a small scar, but we use precise techniques to keep scarring minimal. Scars typically fade significantly over time.

“Does insurance cover excisions of moles, cysts, and skin tags?”

If an excision is medically necessary—such as removing a suspicious mole or painful cyst—insurance often provides coverage. Cosmetic excisions, such as skin tag removal, may not be covered. We can help you understand your options.

Living with Confidence After Excision of a Mole, Cyst, or Skin Tag

After an excision of a mole or another growth, you’ll not only experience relief from discomfort but also the peace of mind that comes with expert dermatologic care. Many patients feel more confident in their appearance and more comfortable in their daily routines after excisions of moles, cysts, and skin tags.

Preventing Future Skin Concerns After Excisions

While excisions of moles, cysts, and skin tags safely remove existing growths, ongoing skin health is just as important.Regular skin checks with Dr. Mercy Odueyungbo can help detect new growths early, while healthy habits such as sun protection and gentle skin care can reduce future concerns. Our team provides ongoing support so patients who have excisions of moles, cysts, and skin tags feel empowered to care for their skin long after their procedure.
