Direct Care Dermatology in Orange County: Benign Spot Removal at Home

• Skin tags
• Cherry angiomas (small red spots)
• Seborrheic keratoses (rough, raised brown spots)
• Sebaceous hyperplasia (enlarged oil glands)
• Warts
• Superficial hyperpigmentation
• Small cysts under 2 cm
• Acne, including prescription management

Most spots are treated with electrocautery: a fine, controlled energy tip that removes the growth precisely with minimal effect on surrounding skin. Local numbing keeps you comfortable. Many patients treat several spots in one visit.

Any spot that is changing, bleeding, irregular or suspicious for skin cancer needs a dermatology evaluation and possibly a biopsy. These are not treated at home and will be referred to an appropriate dermatology office.

Small scabs form and heal over about one to two weeks. Keep the area clean and protected from the sun. Some spots need a second treatment. Results vary.

$400 per treatment for mild cases that need only one session, or $300 per treatment when more than one session is recommended. Acne and other benign concerns are managed at no extra charge for patients already receiving treatments with us.

Every treatment is performed personally by Kaitlyn Lu, PA-C, MSPAS, a California licensed, NCCPA certified physician assistant whose background spans dermatology, Mohs surgery, plastic surgery and hospital medicine. She practices under a written agreement with collaborating physician Heather Lewis, MD, MPH.
