Concerned about a new or changing mole, skin tag, wart or another skin growth?
Our clinician-led service provides face-to-face mole and skin lesion assessment, dermoscopic examination, digital monitoring where appropriate, and in-clinic removal of suitable benign skin lesions.
If you have noticed a mole or skin lesion that is new, changing in size, shape or colour, itching, bleeding, irritated or simply looks different, we can assess it in clinic.
This service provides clinical and dermoscopic assessment and does not diagnose skin cancer. Any lesion with concerning or uncertain features will be referred or signposted for appropriate specialist assessment.
If you have a skin tag, wart, verruca or benign skin growth that catches on clothing, becomes irritated, causes discomfort or affects your confidence, in-clinic removal may be suitable.
Treatment suitability depends on the type, size, location and appearance of the lesion, and some lesions may require more than one treatment session.
Skin tags can also develop around the groin and external vulval area and may become irritated by clothing, shaving, movement or friction.
We provide a private and discreet assessment and in-clinic removal service for suitable external intimate-area skin tags.
For some skin tags, warts and other benign-appearing skin lesions, you can begin with an online assessment before attending the clinic.
How it works:
Moles or lesions with uncertain or concerning features require appropriate face-to-face assessment and will not be treated solely following an online review.
If you are concerned about your risk of skin cancer, we can review relevant factors and help you understand what changes to look out for.
This is a risk-assessment and education service and does not diagnose skin cancer.
Where appropriate, digital images can be used to create a record of a mole or lesion so that changes in size, shape, colour or appearance can be compared over time.
Most skin lesions are harmless, but sometimes the safest next step is further assessment rather than removal.
If a mole or lesion has concerning, unusual or uncertain features, we will explain what we have found and advise the appropriate next step.
This may include GP review, an NHS skin pathway or private dermatology assessment, depending on your clinical needs and preference.
Whether you have a changing mole, skin tag, wart, verruca, seborrhoeic keratosis, cherry angioma, intimate-area skin tag or another skin lesion, we can help determine the most appropriate next step.
