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

I am on blood-thinning medication; can I still have surgery?

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.

What areas can be treated?

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

Testimonials

The staff were amazing and made me feel really at ease. I had 5 moles removed from my face that have bothered me my whole life. I’m so pleased with the results. My skin looks so clear!

— Claire | Mole Removal

The Doctor and staff were all lovely and really put me at ease. They made sure the procedure was quick and pain free and it was all done within 30 minutes. Very clean environment. Will be recommending.

— Coral | Mole Removal

A very responsible clinic, with professional and friendly staff. I have had two moles removed using Plexr with Dr Vivek Shrivastva and was very happy with the whole process. The first healed extremely well and am anticipating a similarly excellent result with this most recent removal.

— Hannah | Mole Removal

A friendly and professional staff. Dr. Patel gave me excellent information and carried out the procedure in a fast but efficient way, gave me confidence and it was marvellous to have my problem sorted out without any fuss or pain. I was given excellent after care advice and left the clinic feeling the mole near my eye had been diagnosed and dealt with in a caring and professional way.

— Jennifer | Mole Removal

Thank you for your wonderful service. Friendly, competent, and professional. I was put at ease before the procedure and reassured throughout. We also had a nice, intelligent, random subject chat afterwards! Perfect. The procedure site is healing very well indeed. When I look in the mirror, I sigh with relief that the mole has been removed. It has increased my personal confidence and self esteem dramatically. I would absolutely recommend this practice for all minor surgeries.
