Removal of scrotal skin lesion
What is removal of a scrotal skin lesion?
Removal of a scrotal skin lesion is a minor surgical procedure in which a skin formation (such as a cyst, atheroma, papilloma, fibroma, or another benign lesion) is removed.
In most cases the lesion is harmless, but it may cause discomfort, irritation, inflammation, or cosmetic concern.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is generally well tolerated.
How is the procedure performed?
- Local anesthesia is applied to the area.
- Once the area is numb, the doctor removes the skin lesion.
- If necessary, the wound is closed with sutures.
- The removed tissue may be sent for histological examination.
The procedure usually takes 20–40 minutes.
You remain awake during the procedure, but you should not feel pain.
What is important to know before the procedure?
Usually no special preparation is required.
Inform your doctor if:
- you are taking blood thinners
- you have chronic diseases
- you have allergies
On the day of the procedure, perform normal hygiene washing.
If the skin lesion has changed rapidly, is bleeding, or is painful, be sure to inform the doctor.
What sensations may occur after the procedure?
After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience:
- Mild pain or tenderness
- Swelling
- Minor bleeding or bruising
- A feeling of tension in the wound area
These symptoms are normal and usually resolve within a few days.
What to do after the procedure?
- Keep the wound clean and dry.
- Follow the wound care instructions given by the doctor.
- Wear supportive and comfortable underwear.
- Avoid heavy physical activity for about 1–2 weeks.
Sutures will be removed by the doctor if needed, or dissolvable sutures may be used.
