What to expect by condition
Moles : Removal is performed when indicated for cosmetic reasons or medical safety. Tissue may be sent to pathology.
Skin tags : Quick, local anaesthesia, typically minimal downtime.
Cysts : Removal aims to prevent recurrence and clear the sac; cyst contents may be expressed if appropriate.
Warts and verrucae : Depending on size and location, options include electrocautery, or minor surgical removal.
Lumps and bumps : Each lump is evaluated to determine whether removal is beneficial and safe, or if monitoring is preferred
Aftercare tips
Avoid applying heavy creams or ointments on the day of the procedure unless told otherwise.
If you take blood-thinning medications, inform your clinician; guidance will be provided.
Keep the treated area clean and dry as directed; avoid picking or rubbing.
Protect the area from excessive sun exposure and follow any sutures/remove timing given by your clinician.
Contact us promptly if you notice increasing redness, swelling, fever, or discharge.
Safety and risks
Risks are usually minor but can include infection, bleeding, scarring, or changes in skin colour.
