Welcome to the Skin Lesion Removal Page.

Skin lesions are lumps or bumps such as moles, cysts, warts or skin tags that are usually benign and do not lead to serious problems but many patients choose to have removed for practical or cosmetic reasons.

• Large lesions, or lesions in sensitive areas, can be removed surgically.  Generally this can be performed with local numbing.
• Minor lesions, such as warts, can be frozen off with liquid nitrogen or treated with chemicals such as salicylic acid.
• Non-ablative laser procedures using an Intensive Pulse Light (IPL) system can help with minor sun damage and age spots.
• Lesions that show any signs of turning cancerous, for example a mole that has changed shape or color, are recommended for excision and laboratory testing.
