Moles or skin lesions often appear on the face. They can be due to numerous different causes. Most commonly they occur because of a growth of pigment cells or melanocytes in the body and are harmless. People often desire to have them removed for cosmetic or aesthetic reasons. The most important thing is to ensure that these lesions do not have any malignant or cancer cells in them. We will often send the specimen to a pathologist to examine the specimen under a microscope.
How Do We Remove Moles?

Does Dr Rayess perform Skin Tag Removal in Tampa?
Yes we do remove skin tags. Dr Rayess performs this by numbing the base of the tag with local anesthesia and then clipping it. It is a very rewarding procedure. It is important to note that your body will continue to produce skin tags over time and these may need to be removed down the line.
Will Vitamin E and onion Extract help my wound?
No. These products have been investigated in numerous studies and have shown to have no improvement on the wound. Silicone gel products can help and Dr Rayess will discuss this with you after the lesion is removed.
Does insurance cover this?
Dr Rayess does not accept insurance for these cases.
