Pathophysiology
The removal of benign skin growths, such as moles, warts, and skin tags, involves the destruction or excision of the lesion from the skin, a crucial step in their pathophysiology. Surgical excision, the most common method, involves removing the lesion from the epidermis using a scalpel or cutting instrument. Alternatively, cryotherapy freezes the lesion with liquid nitrogen, while electrocautery burns it off using an electrical current. Laser treatment is also an option. Following removal, the area may be sutured or left to heal naturally.
These procedures serve both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, providing a solution for unwanted growths.
