At NC Tan Surgery, our doctor offers the following treatment options:

• Incision and Drainage: drainage involves administering a local anaesthesia before our surgeon makes a small incision over the lumps, where the fluids, and pus are drained. Following the drainage, our surgeon will close the wound, and apply a bandage, or dressing to prevent infection.
• Excision surgery: excision surgery involves making a surgical incision to remove the entire lump, including a small margin on the surrounding healthy tissues. Afterwards, our surgeon will close the wound before applying a bandage, or dressing to prevent infection.

In most cases, skin lump removal procedures in Singapore are typically done as an outpatient procedure. During the initial consultation, our doctors will perform the following steps to have a thorough understanding of your skin lumps:

• Physical examination: our doctor will physically examine skin lumps and assess their size and texture.
• Family history: it is advisable to disclose your family’s medical history, especially any genetic conditions that may result in skin lumps.
• Medical history: you may be asked about your medical history, as it will help our doctors determine if your skin lumps are medically induced or potentially a symptom of certain medical conditions.

Once all relevant information has been obtained, a personalised treatment plan will be outlined, with our doctors walking you through the procedure. The procedures typically carry no risks and do not require any special preparations. 

While one treatment session is usually sufficient to completely remove skin lumps, this will depend on the number of the skin lumps as well as the size. If the lumps recur, then you may be recommended additional sessions to have them removed.

At NC Tan Surgery, we strive to offer our patients the best, and most comprehensive treatment without foregoing comfort. Schedule a skin lump removal procedure with us today, particularly if your lump continues to grow and cause discomfort.
