The process of burning tissue to stop bleeding or remove warts is called:

• A. Blepharoplasty
• B. Cauterization
• C. Capillary hemangioma
• D. Alopecia

Answer: (B)

Burning tissue to stop bleeding or remove tissue is cauterization. This procedure uses heat (thermal), electric current (electrocautery), or caustic chemicals to destroy tissue and seal blood vessels, which helps control bleeding and can destroy abnormal tissue like warts. Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery, capillary hemangioma is a type of vascular lesion, and alopecia means hair loss. Cauterization is the term that describes this burning-tissue technique.
