Minor Surgery

Because of their specific nature, skin lumps, such as breast lumps, melanoma and hernias, need to be diagnosed by a doctor who will determine how to proceed with treating them in the most effective way possible.

At your consultation, the mole will be carefully examined by one of our doctors. At the consultation, you should inform us if there is any recent change in colour, size, surface and shape of the lesions.

The procedure involves using a scalpel to remove the mole. This small superficial wound which is then sutured and a dressing applied. You will be given advice on how to care for the area post treatment. You will be scheduled to come back for stitches removal and a wound check.

You can resume normal activities straight away in most cases and a dressing is applied to keep the wound clean for a few days.

All moles are sent to a laboratory for histology test after the removal. This is the analysis which is done at a specialised laboratory using a high-powered microscope to detect any abnormal cells. Although most moles can look normal to the naked eye, occasionally early abnormal cells can be lower in the skin, which could cause skin cancer – hence the need to send for analysis.
