Explanation

Fulguration is a medical procedure that involves the use of electric current to destroy or remove tissue. It is often used to treat small tumors, warts, or other abnormal growths on the skin or mucous membranes.

This procedure is usually done under local anesthesia, meaning the patient is awake but the area being treated is numbed.
