Benign Growths & Moles

Dr. Rieder has extensive experience in the diagnosis and removal of benign, unwanted growths of the skin. Conditions that are routinely treated in his clinic include:

• Angiomas
• Cysts
• Lipomas (benign accumulations of fat)
• Milia (pinpoint white bumps that may dot Facial skin)
• Benign moles
• Sebaceous hyperplasia (overgrown oil glands)
• Seborrheic keratosis (warty stuck-on growths)
• Skin tags

Dr. Rieder will utilize the most minimally invasive method to completely remove unwanted lesions with minimal damage to the skin. Devices routinely used include electrodessication / hyfrecation, laser, and surgical removal. When necessary, as with the removal of pigmented moles, Dr. Rieder will send removed lesions for confirmatory laboratory diagnosis.
