Treatment for Moles, Warts, and Corns
Moles and warts are both ugly blemishes that appear on the skin without any invitation. Moles occur due to hyper-pigmentation of the particular area of the skin, Warts are skin growths that are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) while Corns are hard, thickened areas of skin that form as a consequence of rubbing, friction or pressure on the skin.
Keloid Treatment
Your doctor usually can tell whether you have a keloid by looking at the affected skin. You might need a skin biopsy to rule out skin cancer.
-
Laser treatment - Larger keloids can be flattened by pulsed-dye laser sessions. This method has also been useful in easing itchiness and causing keloids to fade. Pulsed-dye laser therapy is delivered over several sessions with 4 to 8 weeks between sessions. Your doctor might recommend combining laser therapy with cortisone injections. Possible side effects, which are more common in people with darker skin, include hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, blistering and crusting.
Grade 1 Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).
For persistent bleeding or painful hemorrhoids, your doctor might recommend one of the other minimally invasive procedures available. These treatments can be done in your doctor's office or other outpatient setting and don't usually require anesthesia.
Abscess Drainage
Abscess drainage is the treatment typically used to clear a skin abscess of pus and start the healing process. Smaller abscesses may not need to be drained to disappear.
Before a skin abscess drainage procedure, you may be started on a course of antibiotic therapy to help treat the infection and prevent associated infection from occurring elsewhere in the body.
The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis. If you have a severe bacterial infection, you may need to be admitted to a hospital for additional treatment and observation.
​
Large abscesses may require emergency hospital admission and treatment. Complete treatment for abscesses on a daycare or hospitalization basis as and when required is provided.
Ingrowing Hair Removal Treatment
Ingrown hair occurs when a hair that's been removed starts to grow back and curves into the skin. Shaving, tweezing or waxing can cause this to happen. An ingrown hair can cause tiny, swollen bumps on the skin that may hurt.
Your health care provider might recommend laser-assisted hair removal, which removes hair at a deeper level than does shaving, waxing, tweezing or electrolysis. Laser treatment slows regrowth and is a longer term solution. Possible side effects of this method are blistering, scarring and loss of skin color (dyspigmentation).
Lipoma
A fatty lump most often situated between the skin and underlying muscle layer.
Lipomas are slow growing and usually harmless. Rarely, they can be cancerous. Some people have more than one.
Lipomas are just under the skin and move easily when pressure is applied. They commonly occur in the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms and thighs.
Treatment generally isn't necessary, but if the lipoma is bothersome, painful or growing, surgical removal may be required.
Paronychia
Acute paronychia is one of the most common infections of the hand. It is usually caused by a breakdown of the seal between the nail plate and the nail fold with infection resulting from subsequent inoculation of bacterial or fungal pathogens. Paronychia drainage is recommended when an abscess forms within the nail folds or beneath the nail plate. This activity reviews the clinical assessment and technical approach involved in the management and drainage of paronychia within the context of evidence-based practice.
Breast Fibroadenoma:
Cosmetically and aesthetically superior treatment
Fibroadenomas (fy-broe-ad-uh-NO-muhz) are solid, noncancerous breast lumps that occur most often in women between the ages of 15 and 35.
A fibroadenoma might feel firm, smooth, rubbery or hard and has a well-defined shape. Usually painless, it might feel like a marble in your breast, moving easily under your skin when examined. Fibroadenomas vary in size, and they can enlarge or shrink on their own.
Fibroadenomas are among the most common noncancerous (benign) breast lumps in young women. Treatment might include monitoring to detect changes in size or feel, a biopsy to evaluate the lump or surgery to remove it.
​
Fibroadenoma patients usually present to their obstetrics and gynecology doctor or surgeon. As both these specialties are available at our hospital.
Split Ear Treatment
One common type of traumatic ear injury is a split earlobe. Most split earlobes occur gradually due to large or heavy earrings. In some instances, the earlobe is split traumatically because an earring gets caught or is pulled forcefully. Repair of split earlobes requires making an incision along the defect to expose the underlying raw edges, followed by careful suture repair of the two edges. Repair of an ear lobe is a minor procedure that is done under local anesthesia. It involves trimming away the skin that has healed within the split, and then suturing the two sides back together to give a symmetric and pleasing appearance.
