Your Consultation at DR. Dennis Gross Dermatology in Manhattan, New York City
Skin Growth Assessments
Your consultation begins with a detailed discussion about your skin growth, including when it first appeared, whether it has changed, and if you are experiencing any symptoms such as pain, itching, or bleeding.
We perform a thorough skin examination and may use specialized tools to closely evaluate the structure and characteristics of the growth. If needed, we may recommend monitoring, removal, or further testing to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
Early evaluation is especially important for distinguishing benign growths from those that may require additional attention.

Treatment and Care for Skin Growths
Treatment for skin growths depends on the type, size, location, and whether it is causing symptoms or concern. Many growths can be safely and effectively removed using minimally invasive techniques.
Treatment options may include:
Our goal is to provide effective treatment while minimizing scarring and preserving the health and appearance of your skin.
Lifestyle and Skin Monitoring Guidance
Monitoring your skin regularly is an important part of maintaining skin health. We encourage patients to perform routine self-checks to identify any new or changing growths. Paying attention to changes in size, shape, color, or texture can help detect potential concerns early.
Protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure is also important, particularly for preventing changes in moles. Daily sunscreen use and protective clothing can reduce long-term skin damage and support overall skin health.
Managing Changes and Long-Term Care
Some skin growths may evolve over time, making ongoing observation important. Even after removal, certain types of growths may recur, or new ones may develop. Regular dermatologic evaluations as directed by our clinical team will allow us to monitor your skin and address any concerns promptly.
We provide guidance on what changes to watch for and when to seek follow-up care. With consistent monitoring and professional support, most skin growths can be managed effectively and safely.
When to Consider Removal or Advanced Treatment
While many skin growths are benign, removal may be recommended if a lesion is symptomatic, cosmetically concerning, or shows signs of atypical changes. In some cases, advanced techniques may be used to ensure complete removal or achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome.
We take a personalized approach to treatment decisions, ensuring that each option aligns with your goals and medical needs. Our focus is on both medical safety and aesthetic results.
