Skin lesions are areas of the skin that appear unusual or develop differently, such as moles, warts, skin tags, cysts and other types of growth. Most are harmless, but some may change over time, become irritated or cause discomfort. It’s important to see a doctor if you notice any new lesions or changes to existing ones, especially if a mole alters in size, shape or colour.
Skin lesions are removed using a minor surgical procedure carried out under local anaesthetic. Depending on the type of lesion, your clinician may perform a shave removal, excision, or cautery. Each method is designed to remove the lesion safely while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. The procedure is usually quick and well-tolerated.
During an excision, the area is numbed with local anaesthetic so you remain comfortable throughout. The clinician carefully removes the lesion along with a small margin of surrounding skin. The wound is then closed with stitches to support smooth healing. The entire process typically takes 20–30 minutes.
You’ll be given clear aftercare instructions to keep the area clean and protected. Most patients simply need to keep the dressing dry, avoid picking at the site, and monitor for any signs of irritation. Stitches, if used, are usually removed after 7–14 days. Our team remains available if you have any questions during recovery.
Recovery times vary, but most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Any mild swelling or tenderness usually settles within a few days. If stitches are required, full healing can take a couple of weeks. Scarring is generally minimal and improves over time.
Skin lesion removal is a low-risk procedure, but minor side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising can occur. There is a small risk of infection, bleeding, or scarring, which your clinician will discuss beforehand. Rarely, lesions can recur if not fully removed. Our team takes every step to minimise risks and ensure safe, effective treatment.

A skin lesion is any area of skin that looks different from the surrounding skin — a bump, mark, patch, or growth. This can include moles, skin tags, warts, cysts, or unusual patches. Most lesions are harmless, but some need examination to be sure.
You should get a lesion checked if it changes in size, shape, colour or texture; becomes irritated, bleeds, or doesn’t heal; or appears suddenly with unusual features. Also, if it causes discomfort or interferes with daily life (e.g. catches on clothing), it’s worth getting assessed.
No, the vast majority of skin lesions are benign (non‑cancerous). However, some may resemble skin cancer, or may become problematic if located in sensitive areas. That’s why professional examination is recommended.
Common benign types include moles, skin tags, warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, cysts (epidermoid or sebaceous), and lesions caused by sun exposure.
Yes, certain lesions, such as some sun‑damaged patches (e.g. actinic keratoses) or rapidly changing growths may carry risk and warrant removal or biopsy for further examination.
Treatment depends on lesion type, size and location. Common options include: surgical excision (cutting out the lesion), shave‑excision, freezing (cryotherapy), cautery (heat removal), laser or light therapy, and for some lesions, prescription creams or gels.
Not always. If a lesion is benign and causes no symptoms or concerns, it can often be safely monitored. Removal is considered when there’s risk, discomfort, cosmetic concern, or patient preference.
After removal you may need to keep the area clean and dry for a time, change dressings, avoid picking scabs or stitches, and watch for signs of infection. Mild pain or tenderness, redness or slight swelling are common.
Recovery time varies: small lesions removed by shave‑excision or cryotherapy may heal in a couple of weeks, while surgical excisions may take a few weeks for wounds to settle and any stitches to come out.
It’s a personal decision. If the lesion is benign but you find it unattractive or it causes irritation (e.g. catches on clothes), removal is a valid option. A qualified clinician should assess it first to ensure it’s safe to remove.
