The vast majority of skin lesions can be dealt with under local anaesthetic at a ‘one-stop clinic‘. Examples of skin lesions commonly treated include, moles, cysts, fatty lumps and scars. Treatment can be achieved in many ways, including, surgical excision, curettage/ shaving and laser. Treatment modality depends on the type of lesion, its location and other patient factors. The aim is for a quick recovery and minimal scarring.

Private mole removal Edinburgh

If you have concerns about a mole (naevus) being cancerous, then you should consult your GP who will be able to refer you urgently to your local NHS dermatology or plastic surgery department. Removal of moles for purely cosmetic reasons is not routinely offered under the NHS.

A plastic surgeon is well trained and able to offer removal of moles in a way that gives you the best cosmetic outcome. Plastic surgeons are usually asked to remove skin lesions that are in cosmetically sensitive areas such as around the eyes, nose, face and lips. Additionally, plastic surgeons are used to dealing with both benign lesions and skin cancers and will usually be able to distinguish between the two on clinical grounds.

Cyst removal

Cysts are common, and removal can be performed under a local anaesthetic. Cysts may become enlarged and infected and require antibiotics or surgical drainage as an emergency. They are best removed while relatively small and when they are not actively infected.

Wound care

If you have dressings over your wounds then you will be told if they are shower proof or not.

Your wound may be left open (without a dressing) and you may be given an antibiotic ointment to apply 2-3 a day. If this is the case you can shower and bath to keep your wounds clean.

Scar management

Healing is a gradual process, and your scars may remain slightly pink for up to 12 months.

You should start gently massaging your scars from 2-3 weeks after surgery.

Avoid exposing scars to direct sun for 3-4 months.

Always use a strong sunblock, if sun exposure is unavoidable (SPF 30 or higher).
