A skin lesion is a bump, lump, or sore on the skin. Most skin lesions are benign, and they are not usually problematic. However, some lesions can be a symptom of a more serious condition, which means any skin abnormality should be looked at. The most common lesions you will encounter are moles, cysts, ganglions and lipomas.
Skin lesion removal, as part of our lumps and bumps clinic, is a procedure to remove growths on your skin. You may have a skin lesion removed because it is too big, bothersome, or uncomfortable. You may also have a lesion removed because it could be cancerous or precancerous.
Depending on the lesion we can remove them at the clinic in a variety of ways and in accordance with the most appropriate procedure for the lesion that you may have. During your visit, one of our doctors will review your condition with you and discuss your treatment options. If necessary, we will also refer you to a dermatologist if your condition requires.
