hey thanks for joining a friend don don
has this growth you had on your eye for
about a year but youryour and a half you
i do not like how it looks when I what I
magnify it and look at it really closely
so we are going to do a biopsy on that
shape biopsy taken off and see what it
is
put a little wound seal on it so that it
heals up put a scab on it now and we'll
know in a few days if it does turn out
to be a type of skin cancer will
probably have to send you to ace a
dermatologist who does most surgery to
finish it off
ok but it does not look like the
dangerous type of skin cancer doesn't
look like malignant melanoma it's the
kind that's fairly common and we take
care of without much trouble
that's nice we'll do it is i'll go in
underneath it
here's the shot sorry wow you didn't
even flinch
so I'm puffing that up the reason I'm
putting that up is so that I don't have
to go into a curve you know a big divot
or ditch in the face that's kind of a
hard way to get in there with a curved
blade so this flexible blade allows me
to get right in there
want to get the whole Legion and not
leave any behind but we also want to
leave your face behind i didn't get it
all in one pass so put that on one side
this on the other and go down underneath
delicately
there we go alright turn your head a
little bit more
there you go just like that because
we're going to have to put the the
wounded seal in there because I'm going
to pour it on and pour this powder on
close your eyes tight tight tight tight
all right we got liftoff and see how we
have no blood coming through
close your eyes really tight going to
brush it ok brush them off so we want to
run your eyelid over i brought eyebrow
over here
ok sit up if you can how's that feel
no no it is not
yeah alright so you have a scab on that
spot where we removed the sample where
route there it is so we took that off
ok I am NOT confident that I got the
whole thing I think when the
dermatologist or the one pathologist
look that he's going to say whatever it
is still at the edges at the margins and
that's because of that difficult area
there so i have probably be referring
you to a dermatologist after this is
done i hope you don't have to write i
hope this turns out that we got it all
it may be that we have to just watch it
let it heal up and watch it even if i
did not get all of it depending on what
type of cancer it is and if you want to
do that if you want that option of just
watching it still jumping right into
surgery we can do that the risk would be
that you may have to have more surgery
later if we don't jump on it early but a
lot of times if it's just a basal cell
carcinoma you can even treat just with
using it so we'll see what we can get
together and talk about if you want or
we can talk about it over the phone
that's it it's okay thanks for joining
us we'll go ahead and make it so you can
subscribe to these videos if you want to
watch them and then see patients like
don dons a good one until next time Dr
Martin telling you to stay good
