okay thanks for joining us for this and thank you for joining us for Keith's
biopsy you've had this lesion on new year for how long at ten about two
months and you can kind of feel it and it's got a regular color to it so we do
need to take it off and make sure it's not a type of skin cancer because they
like to show up on people's ears yes so we have the choice of doing a punch
biopsy or a shave biopsy my recommendation for this one because I'm
feeling pretty sure it's not a malignant melanoma is that we've used a shave
biopsy also because those are a lot easier to do on the ear and easier to
recover from and heal from and I'm going to give the injection I'm sorry
okay we are not using epinephrine in this shot because it's in the ear
because that can decrease blood supply for a long time and cause problems
because there that cartilage in here it doesn't have good blood supply already
one thing that's nice about what's going on now is its make it really fast put a
lot of fluid behind it and that helps to stick it out away from the rest of the
ear so we can shave it off are you hurting yes part of this year with the
anesthetic to spray out okay okay
and shave
get some clean gauze for that so for the
wound seal to get ready for it I'm going to be pinching the ear down here and see
how that makes the bleeding maybe you can can you see how that makes the
bleeding stopped yeah okay so between my fingers is where the wound seal goes and
just pour it on it's all at once okay stop my pin should push on it I'm
going to take my fingers off now and you'll see what we have we have some
wounds heal there I'm going to kind of get that off of your head the brown
powder that helps to stop the bleeding and it scans up very nicely
okay here we go
the wind blowing through your hair okay we'll let you know the results in about
two days so before the weekend and chances are it'll be benign we want to
do anything else if it were to be a type of cancer we
would have to refer to something like dr. crowner probably in your
collaborative so we would let him know everything he'd be able to watch the
video even and see the lesion so he knows what is good yeah they told us
their office they like seeing the videos when we send patients down too so thanks
for doing this cake glad to have you here thank you for joining us until next
time okay myself also all of our patreon supporters like boo boo kitty Lindsey
Ann Twain and Petra Rosenberg telling you to stay in good health
