Skin Excision of Non-Malignant Lesions
What Are Benign Skin Lesions?
Benign (non-cancerous) growths include:
Cysts – small fluid-filled sacs under the skin.
Lipomas – soft fatty lumps.
Skin tags – tiny skin flaps that may rub against clothing.
Benefits of Removal
Even though these growths are harmless, they can cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. In-office excision allows for:
Relief from irritation
Improved appearance
Quick recovery
What Patients Can Expect
Procedure performed with local anesthesia
30–60 minutes outpatient visit
Minimal downtime with simple aftercare
Joint Injections for Pain Relief
Conditions Treated
Joint injections help manage:
Knee arthritis
Shoulder inflammation
Wrist pain and tendonitis
Trigger finger
Benefits
Reduce swelling
Improve movement
Provide fast pain relief
Delay or prevent surgery
Injections are quick, safe, and may give relief for weeks to months, helping you enjoy daily activities without limitation.
Trigger Finger Injections
What Is Trigger Finger?
Trigger finger occurs when a finger gets stuck, clicks, or locks due to tendon inflammation.
How We Treat It
Dr. Abadom uses a steroid injection into the tendon sheath. This reduces swelling, restores smooth movement, and often avoids the need for surgery.
Patients in White Rock and Surrey benefit from faster, local treatment without long referral delays.
Consent, Privacy, and Safety
Before every procedure, patients review and sign a clear consent form. This includes:
Explanation of the procedure, risks, and alternatives
The right to refuse or withdraw consent anytime
Assurance of personal data security under PIPA
Aftercare instructions for recovery
All records are stored securely in our encrypted EMR system with role-based access controls.
Aftercare Instructions
To promote safe recovery, CityMed provides verbal and written instructions:
For injections: rest the area for 48 hours, monitor for swelling, and limit to three injections per joint per year.
For excisions: keep the wound clean, sutures removed within 5–14 days, and watch for signs of infection.
