Lumps and Bumps

Looking after your skin is as easy as ABCDE. Protecting your skin from UV damage with the use of sun screen and sun protective clothing are some of the best ways to maintain healthy skin.

If you have concerns for pre-existing or new skin lesions please call our office. Although we have resumed in-office procedures, we are only doing in-office procedures for OHIP covered skin lesions.
