Skin tag removal begins with an examination of the area. The physician checks the lesion and considers its size, location and the number of skin tags before discussing whether removal is suitable.
Not every growth that looks like a skin tag is a skin tag. If the diagnosis is uncertain, the physician may recommend a different assessment or next step rather than immediate removal.
Choose this appointment if you would like a skin tag assessed for removal. Tell the clinic if there are several areas to assess, or if the growth has changed or the diagnosis has not been established.
Have your current medication list available and mention previous treatment of the area. Do not change prescribed medication unless your treating clinician instructs you to do so.
This appointment is for assessment of a wart and consideration of electrocautery, a treatment that uses heat. The physician examines the area and considers its location, symptoms and any previous treatment before deciding whether this approach is appropriate.
Warts can return after treatment. More than one treatment or a different approach may be needed; one appointment does not guarantee permanent clearance.
Choose this appointment if you want a wart assessed for possible electrocautery. If you are unsure whether the lesion is a wart, tell the clinic when booking.
A lump under the skin needs assessment before a removal procedure can be planned. The physician reviews its history and examines the area to determine whether it can be treated at BinaMD or whether another assessment or referral is more appropriate.
Removal is not automatically performed during the first appointment. The size, location and condition of the area can affect the next step.
Choose this appointment for assessment of a suspected cyst or lipoma, or when you have been advised to discuss removal. If another clinician has already examined the lump, tell the clinic and ask whether to provide their recommendation or relevant results.
Have your medication list and any relevant previous reports available. The physician will advise you about preparation and follow-up for your situation.
A skin biopsy removes a sample of skin for laboratory examination. It may help the physician investigate a lesion or skin condition when an examination alone does not provide enough information.
A punch biopsy takes a small circular sample that includes deeper layers of skin. A shave biopsy takes a sample from the surface layers. The physician chooses the technique according to the lesion and the clinical question; they are not interchangeable options selected by price alone. Some punch biopsies require stitches.
Choose this appointment when a physician has recommended a skin biopsy, or when the clinic has directed you to book a biopsy assessment. If you have a recommendation from another physician, contact BinaMD to confirm the required documentation and the appropriate booking option.
If you have an undiagnosed skin concern and are unsure whether a biopsy is needed, contact the clinic for help choosing the starting appointment.
If another physician is involved in your care, tell the clinic so that responsibility for receiving and reviewing the result can be clarified.
