Management of Raised Skin Lesions

Milia are small, white, cyst-like lesions formed when keratin, a skin protein, becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface.

Syringomas are benign lesions that appear due to the excessive proliferation of sweat gland tissue in the dermis. They typically present as multiple small, bead-like skin bumps in areas such as under the eyes, cheeks, and forehead.

Seborrheic keratosis is a benign lesion caused by the localized abnormal proliferation of skin keratinocytes. It is characterized by raised, brown to black growths on the skin's surface.

Skin tags are benign lesions resulting from the excessive proliferation of fibrous tissue and blood vessels in the dermis. They commonly appear as small, skin-colored growths in areas where skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, under the breasts, and on the eyelids.

What is the recommended duration for applying Duoderm (hydrocolloid dressing) after removing a raised lesion?

Lesion removal procedures involve shaving or ablating the skin's surface, which causes physical damage to the skin.

Therefore, proper protection and care of the damaged area after the procedure are crucial for recovery.

Keeping the treated area moist is particularly important for faster skin recovery and to prevent scarring.

For this type of care, the use of Duoderm, a hydrocolloid dressing, is recommended.

Duoderm helps maintain a moist environment for the wound, aiding cell regeneration, reducing unnecessary scab formation, and lowering the chance of scarring.

Apply Duoderm immediately after lesion removal, and it's best to replace it only when it's full of exudate and starts to naturally peel off. Generally, keeping it applied for at least 7 days or more is beneficial for recovery.

We recommend an overall care period of about 10 days.

If Duoderm use causes discomfort or an allergic reaction, you should frequently apply a regenerative cream or moisturizing gel to prevent the area from drying out.

Additionally, it is important to carefully apply SPF 50 or higher sunscreen and to avoid unnecessarily touching the treated area during the recovery period.

Post-mole removal care is not just about protecting the treated area; it's a crucial process that impacts the final recovery outcome.

Neglecting aftercare can lead to scarring, so please continue to pay close attention even after the procedure.

We provide detailed guidance on aftercare methods to ensure our patients can recover comfortably after their procedures.

Recommended for

• 1. Individuals concerned about skin lesions such as moles, lentigines, milia, syringomas, or skin tags
• 2. Those who have experienced the reappearance of lesions after a previous mole removal procedure

Procedure Steps

• STEP 01. Self-cleansing
• STEP 02. Application of anesthetic cream
• STEP 03. Mole removal procedure

Post-Procedure Precautions

• ㆍBe careful not to let water directly touch the treated area. (Light cleansing is possible while Duoderm is applied.)
• ㆍIt is best to keep the regenerative tape on for as long as possible during the skin regeneration phase. (approximately 10 days)
• ㆍMoles may reappear in the treated area, and re-treatment can be considered approximately 4-6 weeks later, if necessary.
• ㆍDeep-rooted moles may not be completely removed in a single procedure and may require multiple repeated treatments.
• ㆍIt is recommended to minimize sun exposure. Always use sunscreen, and applying it over the Duoderm can also be beneficial.
