Due to its size, the skin is the largest human organ, it is one of the most vulnerable organs of the human body. An average adult’s skin is approximately 20 square feet, and because of its external location, it is susceptible to not only the aging process, but a number of diseases, disorders, discolorations, and growths.

Skin abnormalities can vary widely in regard to severity and appearance. Many can be removed and improved upon with minimum discomfort and risk using skin surgery within the comfort of a dermatologist’s office.
