Contact UsWhat Is Electrodesiccation and Curettage?
Electrodesiccation and curettage (ED&C) is an outpatient, nonsurgical procedure at Essential Dermatology Group in Bedford, TX that eradicates benign, precancerous, or even cancerous skin lesions. This simple procedure removes small growths by scraping the skin down to the unaffected layer and then using an electric current to cauterize the area. The process gets rid of cancerous lesions on the skin, as well as noncancerous growths. ED&C remains a proven and effective alternative to surgery and is implemented in patients where the lesion affects the top layers of the skin. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Calvin Williams is committed to ensuring your procedure leaves minimal scarring.
How Does Electrodesiccation Work?
Before starting the treatment, Dr. Williams will apply numbing cream to your skin to help you stay comfortable. Employing a curette, he will scrape away the affected area until he reaches normal skin. Electrodesiccation will then be performed by using a small instrument to deliver bursts of electrical current to the treatment site in order to help cauterize the skin and reduce bleeding. The wound will then be left to heal on its own, typically taking several weeks. You will receive aftercare instructions from Dr. Williams. Afterward, you should only experience mild discomfort and minimal scarring.
