Skin lesions

The majority of such lesions are benign, meaning they are not life-threatening and are removed if they are causing pain, discomfort or simply for cosmetic reasons.

Examples of such lesions include:

• Epidermoid cysts (Sebaceous Cysts)
• Lipoma/Lipomata (fatty lumps)
• Papillomas (Skin tags)
• Dermatofibromas
• Moles

During your consultation, Mr Ridha will assess your lesion, with a dermatoscope to confirm the diagnosis prior to explaining your treatment options. Such benign lesions are usually removed surgically under local anaesthetic as day case procedures.
