Treatment of benign skin blemishes, including warts, fibroids and other skin tumors
Treatment of benign skin blemishes, including warts, fibroids and other skin tumors
A benign skin abnormality, also known as a benign skin tumor, is the result of abnormal cell growth caused by a harmless disorder in skin development. Examples include warts, moles, and lipomas. Benign skin tumors come in various shapes and sizes but pose no threat to health. However, they can be bothersome in daily life or cosmetically undesirable. In such cases, Medicadermis offers safe, dermatological treatment options for flattening or removal.
Indications we treat:
- Fibromas (skin tags)
- Cherry angiomas
- Spider naevi
- Seborrheic warts
- Xanthelasmata (sometimes, depending on location and size)
- Syringomas
- Milia (barley grains)
- Age spots (lentigines)
- Dermatosis papulosa nigra (in a dark skin type)
The treatment options:
- Minor treatment (S): less than 5 spots
- Major treatment (L): more than 5 spots
How Cryotherapy, Coagulation, and Curettage work: safe and secure
- Cryotherapy: A minimally invasive technique using liquid nitrogen to freeze the affected skin. The treated area dries out and disappears on its own. Suitable for o.a. warts, fibromas and age spots.
- Coagulation: The spot is locally coagulated by means of heat. It 'dries up' and later falls off. Fast, effective, and virtually scar-free.
- Curettage: The spot is carefully scraped away with a sharp, spoon-shaped instrument (curette). Often used for superficial warts or seborrheic keratosis.
With these treatment options, Medicadermis offers a safe and proven effective approach for aesthetically bothersome skin deformities. Are you unsure about the nature of a skin abnormality? Then make an appointment for a first. intake or a free one video consultation.
(Skin deformities with redness, texture, or pigmentation are typically treated with light or laser therapy, as this is an effective and safe treatment option for these indications with minimal side effects).
The treatment: frequency, procedure and recovery
Prior to every treatment, a thorough assessment always takes place. We perform a visual inspection and discuss your medical history (anamnesis). Treatment is only performed in cases of clear, benign characteristics. Doubtful cases are not treated and, if necessary, referred to the general practitioner.

Aftercare
- Protect your skin: Keep the treated area clean and dry, and carefully follow instructions regarding the bandage.
- Expect blistering: Blisters may form during cryotherapy – leave them alone unless otherwise advised.
- Pain relief: For mild pain, you can use paracetamol (no NSAIDs without consultation).
- Cleaning: Wash the area with mild soap and gently pat dry.
- Leave scabs alone: Do not pull them off to prevent scarring.
- Avoid sunlight: Use SPF as soon as the skin is closed. Never apply sunscreen to an open wound.
General points of attention
- Follow all aftercare instructions carefully.
- Contact us if there are signs of infection: redness, swelling, pus, pain, or fever.
