Electrofulguration is a treatment based on the time-tested principle that “heat can heal.” Also known as electrocautery, this procedure uses a controlled electric current to generate heat that destroys targeted tissue. It is commonly used to treat skin lesions, precancerous cells, and superficial tumors. The heat effectively cauterizes and removes unwanted or damaged tissue, allowing healthcare providers to treat various skin conditions safely and precisely.
