General surgery deals with a broad range of common surgical conditions involving the skin, soft tissues, and minor infections. These procedures are usually simple, safe, and effective, helping patients achieve quick relief from discomfort while preventing further complications.
Dr. Monika Joshi provides expertise in:
Sebaceous Cyst/Lipoma Excision: Removal of benign skin or fatty lumps for relief and cosmetic reasons.

Following a healthy diet and lifestyle to reduce fatty tissue growth
Regular check-ups for recurring infections or cysts
