DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Removal of a superficial skin change using a curette. A distinction is made between spoon and ring curettes. The indication for curettage is usually limited to benign or premalignant superficial skin changes. Histological examination is possible, but a corresponding marginal cut control is not possible.
