Minor surgery by an experienced doctor
At Dr. Dropin, the doctors you meet are experienced in removing various types of changes on the body, sewing up cuts and treating wound infections.
Minor surgery
If you have a skin change on your body that you want removed, Dr. Dropin has available doctors with extensive experience with this type of intervention.
How is the procedure carried out?
- The doctor uses local anesthetic in the area around what is to be removed
- With the help of a scalpel or a scraper, the skin change is removed.
- The piece of skin that is removed is often sent in for examination
You don't initially need any preparations, but it may be a good idea to think about what you are going to do in the next 1-2 weeks after the procedure.
When you make a wound on the skin, a possible infection can occur after the procedure, but with proper wound care the chances are small. Most people get a visible scar.
Cuts and sores
If you have had a cut where the wound edges do not meet or have a wound that does not heal/is dirty, our experienced doctors can help you.
- Small cuts and wounds are cleaned and can be stripped so that they heal nicely.
- Larger cuts should be stitched within 6 hours.
- Exceptions are bite injuries and very dirty wounds which the doctor should consider should be cleaned first, before they are, after assessment, stitched after 2-3 days.
Stitch removal
The doctor who treated you will give you information about how many days your stitches or staples are expected to be in place before they are removed.
General rule for when stitches are removed is:
- Face: 5-7 days
- Upper body: 8-10 days
- Arms and legs: 8-10 days
- Back: 14 days
If the doctor considers that your problem is too complex to be solved outside hospital, the doctor will make a thorough assessment and refer you to the correct department in the hospital to perform the operation.
When should I see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon?
At Dr. Dropin, you can also choose to meet both dermatologists and plastic surgeons:
- These are specialists in removal and surgery and are suitable for exposed areas of the body, such as the face.
- If a cosmetically attractive result is particularly important to you, our plastic surgeons can help you.
- Dermatologists provide a specialist assessment of the skin change before surgery
We have clinics in the Oslo area, Bergen and Stavanger.
Dermatologist consultation
Our experienced dermatologists can investigate and treat most skin diseases and ailments, whether they are acute or chronic. They can help you in one of our clinics or digitally, and you can book an appointment directly with the individual dermatologist if you wish.
Complex skin surgery
At Dr. Dropin, we have leading plastic surgeons who specialize in skin and hand surgery. They focus on medical plastic surgery, and will give you professionally objective assessment, treatment and follow-up. They work closely with our dermatologists and general practitioners.
