The skin is the body's largest organ. It provides protection and some resistance to disease.
Skin lesions are abnormal changes or growths in the skin strucure.
Lesions may be benign or indicative of a more dangerous condition including skin cancers. Advances in laser technology have provided plastic surgeons with high precision instruments to treat skin lesions while minimizing scarring and injury to surrounding tissue. Laser treatment may be done with local anesthesia and little or no discomort. Insurance will usually cover these procedures. Unusual changes in the skin, including coloration or growths, should be seen by your doctor as soon as possible.
