A skin lesion really is the medical or plastic surgery term for any lump, bump or blemish that can appear on the skin. These can include skin cancers, but can also include different types of moles, some of which might be pre-cancerous, but also other age-related and sun-related diagnoses.

Treatment can only be understood and planned once a correct diagnosis is reached and our Consultant Plastic Surgeons at Purity Bridge are expert skin surgeons. They will determine a diagnosis for your skin lesion and then discuss with you what surgical or non-surgical approaches might be warranted in order to treat your particular skin lesion.

Treatment frequently involves surgery and this is normally performed under local anaesthetic. It is important to note that many skin lesions have a risk of recurrence and therefore the ongoing monitoring and requirement for any further treatments will be discussed with you as part of the process.
