What is Destruction?

In dermatology, "destruction" refers to a category of treatments that eliminate abnormal or cancerous skin cells by physically destroying them rather than cutting them out and closing with sutures. The most common destructive technique is electrodesiccation and curettage (ED&C).

During ED&C, your dermatologist uses a small instrument called a curette to scrape away the cancerous tissue, then applies an electric current to the area to destroy any remaining abnormal cells and control bleeding. This sequence is typically repeated two to three times in the same session to maximize effectiveness.

Destruction is best suited for low-risk, superficial skin cancers, most commonly certain types of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, in locations where the technique is clinically appropriate. 

Who's a good candidate?
Your dermatologist may recommend ED&C or a related destruction method if you have:
A low-risk basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in a location well-suited to destruction, typically the trunk or extremities
Squamous cell carcinoma in situ (also known as Bowen's disease) is a superficial form of SCC confined to the outer skin layer
Actinic keratoses that are thick, numerous, or resistant to other treatments
A well-defined lesion not located in a cosmetically sensitive or high-risk area (such as the face, ears, or hands) where tissue preservation and margin control are priorities
A confirmed primary (not recurrent) skin cancer diagnosis appropriate for non-excisional treatment
Destruction is not appropriate for all skin cancers. Deeper, larger, recurrent, or high-risk lesions are typically better treated with excision or Mohs surgery.
What Results Can I Expect?
For well-selected candidates, ED&C destruction achieves high cure rates for low-risk superficial skin cancers. The treated area will form a scab that heals over several weeks, typically leaving a small, flat scar or pale mark at the site.
Because no tissue specimen is collected, there is no pathology report to follow up on. Your provider will monitor the treated area at follow-up visits to confirm complete healing and watch for any signs of recurrence.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. There is no incision to close and no sutures to remove, making the post-procedure experience more straightforward than surgical options for many patients.
WHAT TO EXPECT

What to Expect With Destruction

ED&C is a straightforward in-office procedure that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish. Here is what happens on the day of your treatment.

1

Preparation

The treatment area is cleaned, and a local anesthetic is injected to numb the skin. Most patients feel only a brief sting at the injection site. Once the area is numb, you should not experience pain during the procedure.
2

Curettage

Your dermatologist uses a curette, a small, spoon-shaped surgical instrument, to remove cancerous or abnormal tissue. The curette helps the provider identify the soft, abnormal tissue and distinguish it from the firm, healthy skin surrounding it.
3

Electrodesiccation

An electrosurgical device is applied to the treatment site to destroy any remaining abnormal cells and seal off small blood vessels. This step controls bleeding and helps eliminate cells that may not have been fully removed by curettage.
4

Repeat Cycles

The curettage and electrodesiccation sequence is typically repeated two to three times in the same session. Each cycle works to reduce the likelihood that any abnormal cells remain at the treatment site.
5

Wound Care and Discharge

No sutures are required. The treatment site is covered with a bandage, and your care team will walk you through wound care instructions before you leave. You can typically drive yourself home and return to most daily activities the same day.

Simple Recovery, Steady Healing

Because destruction does not involve a surgical incision, recovery is generally more straightforward than with excision or Mohs surgery. The treated area will scab over and heal gradually over several weeks. Your provider will schedule a follow-up visit to confirm complete healing and assess the site.

Recovery at a Glance

Days of Procedure
Treatment is performed in the office and takes 15–30 minutes. The area will be tender, red, and may weep slightly. Keep it clean and covered. You can return to most normal activities the same day.
Days 1–7
A scab forms over the treatment site, a normal and expected part of healing. Keep the area moist with a recommended ointment and covered with a bandage. Avoid picking or disturbing the scab.
Weeks 1-2
The scab will begin to lift naturally as the skin underneath heals. The area may appear pink or slightly raised. Continue sun protection over the site. Most patients see steady improvement during this period.
Weeks 4-8
Healing is typically complete within four to eight weeks, depending on the size and location of the treatment area. A light scar or pale mark may remain. Your provider will confirm complete healing at your follow-up.

Your Destruction Questions, Answered

In dermatology, destruction refers to techniques that eliminate abnormal or cancerous skin cells by physically destroying them, rather than surgically cutting them out and closing the wound with sutures. The most common method is electrodesiccation and curettage, or ED&C, in which the lesion is scraped away, and an electric current is applied to the site to destroy remaining cells and control bleeding.

Destruction is most commonly used for low-risk basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen's disease), and actinic keratoses. It is generally appropriate for superficial lesions in lower-risk locations (typically the trunk or extremities) rather than the face, ears, or other areas where tissue preservation and margin control are priorities.

All three are in-office procedures for removing skin cancer, but the method and best use cases differ. Destruction (ED&C) physically eliminates the lesion without removing a tissue specimen, making it appropriate for low-risk superficial cancers. Excision removes the lesion with a surgical margin and sends the tissue to pathology for analysis. Mohs surgery removes tissue in real time, layer by layer under a microscope, offering the highest margin precision, particularly for complex or high-risk cancers. Your provider will recommend the approach that fits your diagnosis.

The treatment area is numbed with a local anesthetic before the procedure begins. Most patients feel only a brief sting at the injection site. The curettage and electrodesiccation steps themselves should not be painful once the anesthetic has taken effect. Some tenderness and a burning sensation in the area are normal in the hours immediately following the procedure.

Yes, a small scar or pale, flat mark at the treatment site is a normal outcome of destruction. Because the wound heals without sutures, the appearance of the scar is somewhat different from a sutured surgical wound. The size and visibility of the mark depend on the treated area and its location on the body. Your provider can discuss what to expect based on your specific case.

Most ED&C procedures are completed in 15 to 30 minutes, including preparation. The curettage and electrodesiccation cycle is repeated two to three times per session, but the process is efficient. You can typically drive yourself home and return to most normal activities the same day.

Destruction techniques like ED&C are generally covered by most insurance plans when performed for a medically indicated skin cancer diagnosis. Coverage details vary by plan. We recommend confirming your benefits before your appointment. Our team can assist with questions about what to expect from your specific coverage.

Because destruction does not produce a tissue specimen for pathology, confirmation of treatment success relies on clinical follow-up. Your provider will examine the treated area at a follow-up visit to confirm complete healing and look for any signs of recurrence. Ongoing monitoring is an important part of your care plan after destruction, especially for patients with a history of skin cancer.

Recurrence after destruction is possible, particularly if the original lesion was not fully eliminated. If recurrence occurs, your dermatologist will reassess the lesion and recommend the most appropriate next step, which may include excision or Mohs surgery, depending on the size, location, and characteristics of the recurrent cancer. Regular follow-up visits are the best way to catch any changes early.

From the moment I walked through the door, everyone—from the front office staff to Ashley Pierson, PA—was absolutely wonderful. Ashley was kind, compassionate, thorough, and made me feel comfortable during what was a very stressful visit. That kind of care means more than people realize. My daughter was with me for the appointment and was so impressed with Ashley that she made an appointment for herself before we left! Needless to say, you have gained two loyal patients.

Dr Curtin was very polite, friendly, attentive and addressed every issue I brought to his attention. He gave me information needed to care for my skin’s health and relieved stress associated with health concerns. When you find a doctor that is friendly, well educated and experienced, you should keep their schedule light enough to fit you in when needed by not spreading great ratings. It would be hard to not suggest Dr Curtin to good people, especially since good people recommended him to me.

I say enough good things about Codi!. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and truly cares about her clients. She took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything thoroughly, and made me feel completely comfortable. My skin has improved so much, and every visit feels like a reset for both my skin and my confidence. Highly recommend! I also cannot recommend my injector Brittany Sanderson enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and takes a very conservative, thoughtful approach. She listened to my goals, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt completely comfortable. The results are natural, refreshed, and exactly what I wanted. I trust her 100%. Such a fantastic group of providers at the Farragut office!

I was very pleased with the professional care I received with Dr Paige. She answered any questions I had and very polite. I was however, very disappointed with the unprofessional front office staff, due to their personal conversations constantly going on during my wait. I am a strong advocate for superb and professional customer service during interaction with clients. Perhaps they should enroll in a class

This is a well-oiled machine. Everyone is extremely friendly and professional. Additionally they are extremely skilled and organized. I could not have asked for anything more. I recently had a surgical procedure and the team, which traveled in from across the Bay Bridge, in my opinion cannot be beat. I highly recommend Anne Arundel Dermatology.

I have wanted to get my mole checked for years! I am very anxious and have previously went to a different dermatology office and was dismissed. Dr. Tanya was sooo amazing and attentive! Dr. Tanya and her assistant calmed my nerves and they removed my mole without a hitch! I recommend them to everyone especially if you have anxiety! They offer so many treatments and are very informative! Thank you for taking care of me and removing my mole!

"Five stars for Anne Arundel Dermatology in Wheaton. Friendly staff and beautiful office. Physician Assistant Lina Weber is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable throughout my entire visit. I feel happy with the improvements of my skin thanks to the daily regimen Lina Weber recommended for me.

I have been a patient here for maybe 3 or 4yrs now on and off and when I say im so happy they got rid of Julia it was for the best. I saw her and my daughter saw her so many times she would send me to so many other specialist because she said she didnt know what else to do she provided so many scripts for topical creams n steroids n shampoo nothing was working. I got so bad I gave up on life I had to see a rheumatoid arthritis doctor they wasnt helpful either until one day I got a call from the office that there was a new provider and shes heaven sent. Aditi Mas and her nurse Kylee has definitely poured life back into me. My skin is clearing up im able to move around in minimum pain and stiffness dr.Aditi saw me heard me and cared for me right away it was a way no other dermatologist or provider has ever heard or saw me in 5yrs and ive seen several whos done nothing. Insurance was being difficult but she said nope we gonna fight that and she still took care of me got me a sample of tremfya and she got me approved for more treatments. Im on the road to healing and im so full of gratitude. I live 1hour away and now its worth it Ill take that trip everytime to get my shot and see her I leave the office with a smile before I left in tears and miserable. Now I cry tears of joy. I pray for Dr.Aditi & her team for god to continue to watch over them bless them and there families everyday & I give all the glory and thanks to god because with out him and them I thought this Chronic illness was going to kill me. 🙏 life has gotten brighter im able to walk & show off my skin and live a normal life again. Thank you so much im forever greatful. With tears in my eyes but joy in my heart I write this. ❤️ god bless the staff at academic alliance.

I was so nervous about coming in as I am pretty private about my rosacea, but Trina eased my worries on my first visit. She is knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly caring. She walks me through each laser treatment to ease any discomfort or nerves. She is gentle and empathetic. I highly recommend Trina and the entire Knoxville office as everyone is so welcoming.
