Angioma/Dilated Oil Gland Removal

This procedure is done electrocautery. Since it may be painful, we can prescribe a numbing cream to be applied ahead of time which may decrease discomfort. The areas treated may take 7-10 days to heal and can be washed gently without abrasive cleansers. Only the hands should be used to wash – no washcloths or bathing puffs. Vaseline or Aquaphor may be applied to facial lesions post removal to help them heal more quickly.
