SKIN SURGERY
Treatment for
lumps and bumps
We can offer treatment for lumps and bumps of a benign nature. We can remove cysts and lipomas, skin tags and milia, as well as many other small lesions such as haemangiomas and moles.
Commonly requested lesions for removal include:
- Skin Tags (these may be of a various nature)
- Moles (also know as benign naevi)
- Epidermoid Cysts (often called Sebaceous Cysts)
- Pilar Cysts - these occur in the scalp usually
- Lipoma - these are fatty lumps found in almost any area of the body
- Neurofibromas - these often looks similar to moles and tags
- Warts - there are various types occurring througout the body surface
- Seborrhoeic Keratosis - often called solar keratosis
- EyeLid Lesions - these can be of a variety of causes
- Milia - small inclusion cysts under the skin
- Dermatofibroma - often due to a historic insect bite
- Pyogenic Granulomas - these are typically seen in young or pregnant patients
- Fibrous Papules - firm bumps often seen on or around the nose
- Haemangioma - more often treated with Laser
- Foredyce Spots - seen commonly on the lips and treatment with RadioFrequency
- Keloid Scarring - often treated with Steroid Injection +/- Laser
- Acne Cysts - often treated with Steroid Injections
- Scar Revision Surgery
- Abscess and Boil - Incision and Drainage
- Other more rare skin lesions may also be removed.
A consultation is essential to discuss the method of removal, and we recommend a cooling off period before going ahead with any surgery. Occasionally it may be advised that certain skin lesions are left alone for risk of less preferable scarring.
Blephroplasty
We also provide blepharoplasty. This is done under local anesthesia to remove the excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids. This opens up the eyes. The results are permanent. For further information speak to our team.
