Scars & Lesions

Our board-certified dermatologists offer personalized treatment options for scars and lesions to help your skin look and feel its best.

AAD - Scar & Skin Lesions - Banner copy

What Are Scars & Lesions?

Scars form when the skin repairs itself after an injury, surgery, or severe inflammation. When the deepest layer of skin (the dermis) is damaged, the body produces collagen to rebuild the area, which leaves a visible mark. Scars can range from flat and pale to raised, thickened, or discolored, depending on how the wound healed and your individual skin.

Skin lesions are any abnormal growth, mark, or change on the surface of the skin. They can include cysts, moles, warts, lipomas, and other benign formations. While most lesions are not harmful, they can be uncomfortable, cosmetically bothersome, or difficult to monitor on your own.

Both scars and lesions are highly treatable. Whether you're looking to reduce the appearance of an old scar or have a new growth evaluated, our dermatologists are here to help you understand your options and find the right path forward.

Causes
Injury or Trauma
Cuts, burns, abrasions, or puncture wounds trigger the skin's healing response, often resulting in a scar.
Surgery or Procedures
Any incision into the skin can leave a scar as tissue heals.
Acne or Infection
Deep or inflamed acne lesions can damage the dermis and leave marks behind.
Clogged Follicles or Glands
Blocked hair follicles or oil glands can lead to cysts, which may grow larger or become inflamed over time.
Genetic Predisposition
Some people are more prone to thickened or raised scars due to their skin type or family history.
Aging and Sun Exposure
Over time, the skin may develop benign lesions such as seborrheic keratoses, skin tags, or age spots.
Symptoms
Raised or Thickened Skin
Particularly associated with keloid or hypertrophic scars, which may extend beyond the original wound.
Discoloration
Scarred skin is often pink, red, or pale brown, especially in the early stages of healing.
Itching or Tenderness
Active scars or growing lesions may feel itchy, tight, or sensitive to the touch.
A Firm Lump or Bump Under The Skin
A common indicator of a cyst or benign growth.
Changes in Size, Shape, or Color
A lesion that changes over time should be evaluated by a dermatologist.
Persistent Skin Changes
Marks or growths that don't resolve on their own after several weeks warrant a professional assessment.
TREATMENT OPTIONS

How Are Scars & Lesions Treated?

Treatment depends on the type, size, location, and your personal goals. Our dermatologists will evaluate your skin and recommend the approach that's right for you.

I intentionally waited a couple weeks before doing this review. Charu took her time with the Botox on my face. She explained all the steps so clearly. She gave me some recommendations for additional services that definitely do interest me and I may pursue in the coming months.. I am so pleased with the results. It gave me the lift in my eyes that I was looking for and smoothed out most of the lines on my forehead. I am so thankful that the aesthetician Amanda recommended me to Charu, she is my new go to girl for Botox.

I went to Carolina Skin Care in Pinehurst for MOHS surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma on my forehead. Dr. Malone and her staff treated me like a king. They made sure that I was comfortable and pain free. On the night of the surgery, my wound began to bleed. The bleeding would not stop so I went to the emergency room. They were unable to stop the bleeding and referred me back to Carolina Skin Care with Dr. Malone and her staff. They were able to stop the bleeding before I left. I greater appreciate the care that I received from Dr. Malone and her staff.

Brought my 3 year old here to have his birthmark evaluated. They were running about an hour behind- totally fine- it happens. The practitioner we saw was fantastic, thorough, knowledgeable, and very good with my child. My complaint is regarding an undisclosed charge. During his exam she found molluscum lesions- she then applied a topical resin to around 7-10 lesions on his arms. She let me know that it can take up to 3-4 applications to be effective for the lesions (they are still present). I just received the bill for $322.98 for "destruction". I do take responsibility for not asking how much it was going to cost before we've met our deductible. However, it would have been good information to have seeing as I definitely can't commit to 3-4 rounds of $322 for lesions that generally self-resolve.

Since I had successful Malignant Melanoma surgery back in 1994 in Naperville, IL, I relocated my family to Wilmington. Immediately I looked for an experienced dermatologist to help me watch out for future cancer possibilities. I found Dr, Jonathan Crane and have been with him and his staff now for over 19 years . HIs company's name has changed several times but his friendly, experienced care has kept me protected and safe all these years. I have recommended him and his services to anyone who as ever asked me for this type of healthcare.

“I can’t say enough good things about Lina Weber! From the moment I walked into her office, I felt welcomed and at ease. Lina took the time to listen to all my concerns, explained every step of my treatment plan with clarity, and I saw visible improvements after just a few visits. The entire staff is friendly, and the clinic is spotless and modern. I highly recommend Lina Weber to anyone looking for top-notch dermatologic care!”

I just wanted to take a moment to leave a review and say how amazing the staff here is! I’ve had my fair share of experiences with different dermatology offices, both within this company and outside of it, and this office really stood out to me. Keonna at the front desk was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient. She made the check-in process easy and was just a pleasure to interact with. Dr. Becker was also wonderful! He was very friendly, personable, and talkative in the best way...not overwhelming or annoying at all. He actually took the time to talk with me and made the experience feel comfortable and relaxed. Overall, I had a really positive experience and truly appreciate the staff for making my visit so pleasant. Great team!

Dr Harvey has done 2 Moh’s skin surgeries (for skin cancer) on me… one on my nose (down the whole center of my nose in a petal pattern) and one on my cheek. While the initial surgical incisions and stitches were shocking to see immediately after the surgeries, the final scars are barely visible.

Meridiem DermSpa is the best, the people are always nice, helpful, and professional. Sarah has done most of my procedures and I adore her. She always makes me feel that I'm perfect the way I am, the treatments I choose are just to enhance. She's encouraging yet not pushy, she explains everything to me clearly, and ensures that I'm comfortable. As soon as I leave from an appointment, I'm ready to make another. Highly recommend going to Meridiem!

This entire staff from the Doctors to the front desk could not be more professional. I have had the CoolSculpting procedure here and have had stellar results due to the knowledge and support of the amazing team at Dr. McDaniels office. I can honestly say that if for any reason they do not feel a particular procedure is the right fit for you they will take the time to educate you and point you in the right direction. It is not about the money in this office it is about finding the right procedure for the person. I continue to go there for fillers and Botox on a regular basis and could not be more pleased. If you want an honest professional office with the staff that is highly trained. This is the place !

I just have to take a moment to share how amazing our experience was with Academic Alliance Dermatology! From the very first phone call to schedule my daughter’s appointment, everyone was so kind, helpful, and welcoming. The front desk staff was absolutely wonderful and made checking in so easy. The medical assistant was so sweet, patient, and made my daughter feel comfortable right away. And the doctor was incredible! She took the time to listen to our concerns, explain everything clearly, and made us both feel like we were truly being heard and cared for. It’s honestly refreshing to have an entire office where every single person you interact with is friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. We never felt rushed or like just another appointment. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and would absolutely recommend Academic Alliance Dermatology to anyone looking for a dermatologist. Thank you to the entire team for making what can sometimes be an uncomfortable experience feel so easy and positive! ❤️

From start to finish, everyone you encounter is warm, caring, and respectful. I felt genuinely valued and well cared for during my visit. My parents were under Dr. Zook’s care for many years, and he always treated them with kindness and dedication. He continues to demonstrate his unwavering commitment to his patients by promptly assessing illnesses, diagnosing accurately, and providing effective therapy. We are incredibly grateful to have such a compassionate and skilled doctor in our lives. Wishing you ongoing success and many more years of making a difference. Thank you!

ADDRESSING TOP SCAR & LESION CONCERNS

Your Scars & Lesions Questions, Answered

Some scars naturally fade over time, but most do not disappear completely without treatment. Early intervention typically leads to better outcomes, so if you're concerned about a scar, it's worth discussing your options with a dermatologist sooner rather than later.

A typical scar stays within the boundaries of the original wound and may flatten over time. A keloid extends beyond those boundaries and tends to be thick, raised, and firm. Keloids can continue to grow and are more common in people with certain skin types or genetic predispositions.

We strongly advise against it. Attempting to remove a cyst yourself can cause infection, permanent scarring, and damage to surrounding tissue. A dermatologist can evaluate the cyst and recommend the safest, most effective treatment option.

Not all lesions require removal. Your dermatologist will assess the lesion's size, appearance, growth pattern, and any associated symptoms to determine the best course of action. If there is any concern about a lesion changing in appearance, it should be evaluated promptly.

Keeping the wound clean and moist, protecting it from sun exposure, and following your provider's aftercare instructions are all important steps. If you are having a procedure with us, your dermatologist will give you specific guidance for your situation.

It depends on the type of scar and the treatment selected. Some patients see significant improvement after a single session; others benefit from a series of treatments over several months. Your dermatologist will give you a realistic timeline based on your skin and your goals.

Coverage varies depending on the procedure and whether it is considered medically necessary. Our team can help you understand your options and navigate the process.

Ready to Explore Your Treatment Options?

From scar revision to lesion removal and evaluation, our dermatologists can create a treatment plan based on your skin and your goals.
