Many small skin lesions such as skin tags, keratoses, warts and benign (non-cancerous) moles can be assessed and treated in a single consultation. Depending on the anatomical site and size, removing lesions involves a small minor operation performed under local anaesthetic. If during your assessment the doctor identifies any suspicious lesions you will be advised how to have these checked.
Dr Guy Mitchell is an extremely experienced GP with Special Interest in Dermatology and performs all our minor surgery. See the FAQs below, or get in touch if you have a specific query. We are always happy to help!
