Skin lesions whether benign cysts, suspicious moles or recurring skin tags can cause concern. While many skin conditions are harmless, you often need a professional assessment for peace of mind. Some lesions require surgical removal for comfort, hygiene, or to rule out malignancy. At The Private Medical Group offers the skin surgery Kent patients may need for a range of reasons.
What is skin surgery?
Skin surgery covers various procedures performed to remove, repair, or biopsy skin lesions. This process is not always about aesthetics, and it often involves removing a growth that catches on clothing, causes irritation or concerns you because of its changing appearance. Surgeons use local anaesthesia to numb the site, so the procedure remains comfortable throughout. After the lesion is removed, they close the wound using precise suturing techniques to minimise scarring and promote optimal healing.
Common procedures at our clinic
We manage a wide range of dermatological conditions. If you experience persistent issues with your skin, our surgical team offers solutions for the following:
- Moles: If you notice a mole changing shape, colour, or size, it requires assessment. We remove moles for biopsy or cosmetic preference.
- Cysts: Epidermoid and sebaceous cysts often require surgical excision if they become infected or painful. Drainage provides temporary relief, but excision removes the cyst wall to prevent recurrence.
- Skin Tags: These growths are often harmless but become irritated by friction. We provide quick, permanent removal.
- Lipomas: These soft, fatty lumps typically sit just beneath the skin. If they grow or cause discomfort, surgical removal is the most effective treatment.
- Actinic Keratosis and Lesions: We perform biopsies on suspicious spots to ensure early diagnosis and treatment of potential malignancies.
