Skin Lesion,
Cyst and Mole Removal

• Moles are harmless skin growths that vary in colour from pink flesh tones to dark brown or black
• Moles can appear at any time but usually develop in childhood
• The amount of moles we have as individuals varies according to our genetic makeup
• Moles are normally quite harmless but can be unsightly, particularly if they are on the face
  
  

If you have a mole anywhere that changes colour or size, or starts to bleed, it is really important to get it checked by a GP

• Your mole will be examined carefully in order to determine the best method of treatment
• Moles that are considered healthy are often removed using a short diathermy
• This treatment takes only a few minutes and leaves virtually no scars
• Suspicious moles are removed surgically and are sent to the lab for testing
  
  

• You can expect the treated area to fully heal within a week
• Your mole will not grow back once it has been removed
