Skin Lesions & Unwanted Growths

Understanding Common Skin Growths

Why Lesions Develop

Skin lesions such as warts, skin tags, and precancerous spots can develop due to sun exposure, viral infections, or natural aging. While many are benign, some may cause irritation or cosmetic concern. Monitoring changes in size, color, or texture is important to determine appropriate care and ensure safety.

Safe and Efficient Care

What to Expect After Treatment

Following lesion removal, mild redness or blistering may occur as the treated tissue heals. The area typically resolves within days to weeks, depending on size and location. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, with minimal scarring when aftercare instructions are followed.

What Our Patients Say

I am so grateful to dr.Howard for his phenomenal support and caring, careful way of handling my problem with eyebrow muscular contracture that he helps me relax. I've asked him about other treatments, some of which I plan to return for, but he wouldn't offer anything that I didn't really need and always advised to go slow and come multiple times, if needed, rather than spending a lot of money at once, do a lot of things, and then regret and stress out about it later. Since I stopped being a pediatric patient 30 years ago, he is the 1st cosmetic doctor that I truly felt safe with, and who I think is genuinely there to help people.

A big thank you to Dr. Billy and Glotologi Med Spa! My wife and I both see Dr. Billy for weight loss. We have each lost 60 lbs in the last year! Dr. Billy’s program made it so easy for us to get the weight off. We feel better and are much healthier, now that we are at our target weight.

Dr Howard is the best! He’s great at what he does, he listens and thoroughly answers every question. I loved my first visit and can’t wait to go back!

Abby Cataldo

I love Dr.Howard, and his entire staff. They make you feel very welcomed. If you’re looking for a doctor that truly cares about his patients look no further. I was referred to him by my mom, and then my sister because they knew I’d been searching for a doctor that actually cares about his patients. He actually takes time to listen to his patients. He’s a very intelligent and experienced doctor that has heart for people. I highly recommend him.
