Lumps, bumps & lesion removal

From initial assessment to treatment and follow-up, receive exceptional skin care for lumps, bumps, and lesion removals. Our responsive virtual consultation service allows fast-track preliminary assessment and diagnosis, so we have more time to focus on your well-being.

What is a benign Lesion?

The term benign lesion denotes a range of non-cancerous lumps, bumps and flat pigmented lesions. This includes moles, cysts, keratoses and callouses. Some of these might be irritating you, others may be causing cosmetic impairment or a perceived disfigurement. Removing these lesions involves a small minor operation performed under local anaesthetic (a numbing agent) whilst you remain awake.

What will my treatment involve?

The type of procedure your doctor uses will depend on the anatomical location of the lesion, its size, depth in the skin and whether histology is required. The procedure might involve s complete surgical removal (and histology analysis), a curettage (the lesion is gently pared away), or shave excision. On initial assessment, your skin will be assessed under an illuminated magnifier (dermatoscope). Any diagnostic uncertainty will warrant a biopsy (taking a small sample) before the procedure to ensure an accurate diagnosis and safe removal.

What is a pre-operative assessment?

This is an opportunity for us to assess your skin and suitability for treatment. We’ll explain the treatment in full and ensure you are prepared. Some complex skin lesions, or those in more difficult areas may need to be referred to secondary care or a plastic surgeon. If we suspect skin cancer or there are concerns about the nature of your skin lesion we may refer you back to the NHS skin cancer pathway or address options for referral to dermatology.

Aftercare


This is dependent on the site of surgery and the technique used. You will usually be advised to apply petroleum jelly (Vaseline) from a new pot to the wound to aid healing. It is best to avoid getting the wound site wet for 24-48 hours but specific advice will be given to you at the time of the procedure.

What happens after my treatment?

One should try to avoid immediate exercise or stretching of the skin after the procedure. It is unusual to have complications after minor skin procedures, although a little discomfort, redness and weeping is to be expected. The local anaesthetic will wear off after 1-2 hours.

Scarring

You will have a scar that will improve over 6 months, but full scar maturity takes 12-18 months. Scars initially remain red or pink but tend to fade over the ensuing months. Younger people tend to produce a scar which may stretch after a few months. Very rarely a scar may grow beyond its original boundaries in which case you will need to be seen again. It is imperative to try and keep out of the sun as any site of inflammation can become pigmented, especially in darker-skinned individuals.

Please note, the above aftercare is just a guide. Full aftercare advice will be given to you when you attend your appointment with us.

FAQ

In theory yes you can. However, our doctors will need full details of all your medication and medical history at the consultation, to allow them to best advise you on how things can proceed. If you are on Warfarin, please bring your Warfarin card with you, which gives information such as your recent and target INR values.

Lumps, bumps and lesions can appear anywhere on the body and can all be removed.
