Cyst, Lipoma & Skin Cancer Removal

About Cysts, Lipomas & Skin Cancers

At Studio Dermatology, our expert team evaluates and treats a wide range of skin growths, including cysts, lipomas, and skin cancers. While cysts and lipomas are typically benign, they can become uncomfortable, infected, or cosmetically bothersome. Skin cancers require prompt evaluation and treatment to help prevent further growth. Using advanced dermatologic surgical techniques, our team provides safe, effective removal with a focus on optimal healing and the best possible outcome.

How it Works

Cyst Removal

A small incision is made to remove the cyst and its sac, helping reduce the risk of recurrence.

Lipoma Removal

A small incision is used to remove the fatty growth in its entirety.

Skin Cancer Removal

Depending on the type, size, and location, treatment may include standard excision, shave removal, or advanced procedures such as Mohs surgery to precisely remove cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

Risks / Benefits

Removal can relieve discomfort, improve appearance, and provide peace of mind. When treating skin cancer, early removal is an important step in preventing further growth. As with any surgical procedure, potential risks include temporary pain, swelling, bleeding, scarring, infection, nerve injury, recurrence if the lesion is not completely removed, and other rare complications.

Recovery and Outlook

Most patients recover quickly with minimal downtime and little more than a small scar. Skin cancer removal has an excellent success rate, especially when detected and treated early. Following your post-procedure instructions and scheduling regular skin checks can help support long-term skin health.

When To Call the Doctor

If you notice a lump, bump, or spot that is painful, growing, or appears suspicious, schedule a dermatology appointment as soon as possible. You should also contact our team if you notice:

A new or changing mole
A sore that does not heal within a few weeks
A rapidly growing lump beneath the skin
Pain, redness, swelling, or drainage at a surgical site
Recurrence of a previously removed cyst, lipoma, or skin lesion

Individuals with painful, inflamed, or infected cysts
People with lipomas causing discomfort or cosmetic concerns
Patients with suspicious growths or biopsy-confirmed skin cancer
Anyone seeking safe, effective removal with an emphasis on optimal healing and minimal scarring

If you have a persistent lump, bump, growth, or other unusual skin lesion, our team encourages you to schedule an evaluation. Early assessment and treatment can help protect your skin health and prevent future complications.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter had a handful of stubborn warts that we had been trying to get rid of for YEARS. We tried everything at home — over-the-counter freezing products, creams, duct tape, scraping, acids — you name it, we tried it!
We finally decided to see our regular doctor, where they attempted to freeze them off. When that didn’t work, we went back multiple times and eventually tried a combination of freezing and acid treatments. After FOUR very painful appointments and more than $800 out of pocket, the warts were STILL there. At that point, we were frustrated and gave up for several months.
When summer came around, we decided to give Studio Derm and Dr. Farhaad Riyaz a try — and I am SO glad we did!
Dr. Riyaz listened carefully to everything we had already been through, explained the different treatment options available, and helped us decide how to move forward. He was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate with my daughter.
And the best part? After ONE pleasant appointment, the warts were GONE! 🙌
We actually went back expecting that she would need another treatment, but Dr. Riyaz looked at them, told us they were healing beautifully, and sent us on our way — no unnecessary treatment or appointment.
After everything we had been through, I honestly couldn't believe how easy the experience was. Dr. Riyaz is truly a caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and HONEST doctor. It is so refreshing to find someone who genuinely seems to care about his patients and isn't going to recommend treatment that isn't needed.
I would recommend Studio Derm and Dr. Farhaad Riyaz to absolutely anyone. I only wish we had found him years ago!
