ABSTRACT
Indications Growing lesions, changing lesions, painful, itchy or bleeding lesions, darkening
of pigmentation, elevation of lesion, or patient preference, with the knowledge that there will be a scar.
Preop This is typically an office-based procedure but may be done under local or in an
ambulatory operating room setting, or as part of a more significant operation. It can be prudent to stop aspirin and anticoagulants, but often these procedures are so minor that even this is not necessary.
