Lesions

Dermatological surgery includes benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) surgery of the skin.

Skin lesions are found on or just below the skin. Examples of skin lesions are epidermoid cysts, lipomata (benign tumour of fatty tissue), skin tags and moles.

Fluid filled lumps that form in your upper or lower eyelids are quite common. These cysts normally disappear on their own. Occasionally the cyst becomes infected causing pain, redness and swelling.

Paediatric Medicine includes the treatment of children and teenagers.

Our experienced consultants can visually assess skin lesions and (if necessary) scan them using state-of-the-art scanning equipment to analyse and detect even the smallest changes. The procedure is painless, quick and safe.

During this treatment, a small piece of skin is grafted from another area of your body onto a leg ulcer.

The ‘soft tissue lump service’ allows rapid and reliable assessment and treatment of soft tissue tumours of limbs and torso.

Abnormal growths or ulcers in the opening of your vagina (vulva) are called vulval lesions. In many cases vulval lesions do not present a problem. However, if you are at all concerned or if your lesions bother you, you should see your GP. In many cases you will be referred to a gynaecologist for further diagnosis and (if necessary) removal of the lesions.
