I have been using Dr. Casper for years, and wouldn't recommend anyone else.

My wife and I have been seeing Christy Joseph PA at Alliant Dermatology (Heald Way) for quite some time and we're both extremely satisfied with the care we've received. The one time I was referred to Dr. Casper for a skin cancer removal, my care and results were excellent.

So, tell him to shave it off and get a biopsy, then you'll know what and why it's not clearing up.

Please Dr Alwann, explain to me what a biopsy will reveal and why it will pinpoint the reason why it has not resolved. I am sure your expertise in dermatopathology will be a valuable addition to this thread.

Is something missing here ? Is it on a body part that you wash too soon ? Have you asked why ? In this day and age you MUST be an advocate/ researcher for yourelf... and also yourself. NEVER had a problem with anyone at Alliant.

Both my wife and I have been going to Dr. Casper for 10 years and we are very happy with the care, as noted above I would request a detailed conversation to determine what is going on.

A biopsy will reveal what the growth is, perhaps cancer or some form of keratosis. If freezing it isn't giving you good results, something else may be going on.
