Getting Your Mole Removed
Skin lesions include:
- Moles
- Cysts
- Lipoma
Dr Ratnavel specialises in skin cancer treatment in line with all national guidelines and within a multi-disciplinary setting.
Removal and diagnosis of skin lesions can prove difficult. Although skin cancers are rare, any non-healing lesions that present signs of growth or change, should be examined by a professional and if required, referred onto a consultant dermatologist.
Dr Ratnavel will perform a complete medical assessment of your skin and presenting skin lesions. Any suspicious lesions can be surgically removed under local anaesthetic and sent for histological examination (pathology).
