The largest organ of the body is the skin and best defines the looks of an individual. At any time when there is an unsightly appearance such as scarring on the skin, there is an adverse effect on the mental and physical well being of the individual. The fact that the skin is located outside the body means that there is the possibility of being affected by diseases, discolorations and growths. When considering dermatology Athens ga residents have many procedures that are known to improve the appearance of the skin.
There is what is known as shave biopsy in which there is slicing off of growths from the skin through the use of blades. The main purpose of the procedure is to eradicate small growths. Punch biopsy on the other hand is used typically to sample small growths and rashes. It involves injection of an anesthetic after which a biopsy punch is used to cut out cylindrical pieces of the skin. The resulting hole is closed with a suture and heals with minimal scars.
Grenz rays are weak radiations and are not to be confused with other forms of therapy, notably superficial radiation therapy. Superficial radiation therapy was used 30 to 40 years ago but is still useful when it comes to skin cancer treatment. UVB phototherapy comes in handy in the treatment of skin eruptions and is achieved using UV light. Letter B in UVB denotes the type B ultraviolet rays. It is a useful component for treating skin disease.
P-UVA refers to a combination of long-wave ultraviolet radiation that is useful in treating several conditions of the skin and psoralen(P). The latter is a drug that is used in making the skin to be more sensitive to UV light. This helps to allow for efficient working of deeply rotating UVA band of light.
There also is eletro-dessication and curettage (ED and C), which is also a dermatological procedure. It is the scraping or burning off of growths on the skin and is used for cancers that are less serious. There is injection of a local anesthetic, then scrapping off of abnormal tissue with special tools. The area gets cauterized until there is no more bleeding. If the growth is cancerous, the process may be repeated.
There is intralesional injection that involves directly placing medications into skin areas with problems using fine needles. This is the technique employed in treating chronic eczema and acne cysts. The use of too much medication results into white dents or spots. These will however disappear over time and are never a cause for worry.
Cyrotherapy is a common dermatological procedure for treatment of most skin problems. It involves spraying liquid nitrogen onto the skin area, freezing it. When the freezing is light, peeling results, moderate freezing causes blisters and when the freezing is hard, a scabbing results. This technique is used for acne, growths and scars, plus some skin cancers.
Acne surgery is used in getting rid of lesions. This is done by opening blackheads and pimples, using needles. Expression of the lesions is then done using an extractor.
