This is a critical warning
At iGP, our dedicated expert team specialises in the safe and effective removal of moles, skin tags, sebaceous cysts, seborrheic keratosis, and lesions on the skin. We offer a range of treatments tailored to individual needs, ensuring the highest quality care for our patients. Whether it's a routine check-up or concerns about skin irregularities, our clinicians are here to help.
* Prior to booking an appointment, we ask that you complete a short questionnaire and upload a photo or two of the area you are looking to be investigated/removed. This allows us to assess if we will be able to perform the procedure and avoids you booking or paying for an appointment you may not need.
Cysts and lesions can vary in size, shape, and colour, and their removal can be a crucial step in maintaining healthy skin. Our clinic uses advanced techniques and equipment to ensure safe and effective treatments, from cryotherapy to surgical excision.

Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our clinicians will assess your individual needs to determine the most suitable treatment for you. Our clinic offers a variety of cyst and lesion removal treatments, including cryotherapy and surgical excision. We ensure your safety and comfort by using the latest techniques and equipment for smooth and painless procedures. To ensure proper healing and to minimise scarring aftercare instructions are provided and we are on-hand to provide advice and support should you need it.
After thoroughly disinfecting the area, the area around the lesion will be numbed using a local anaesthetic. The lesion will be excised in an oval shape. The sample will then be sent to the lab for analysis. The wound will be closed with stitches (if required) and covered with a dressing.
If applicable, we will book an appointment for you to attend for suture removal.
You would be able to go home on the same day. You should be able to resume work on the same day or the next day unless your work may result in pressure over the wound, in which case the surgeon will provide further advice.
For your peace of mind, the surgeon will book a follow up to discuss the results of the lab analysis.
There are several methods used for cyst and lesion removal, including:
Before removal, the area is numbed with a local anaesthetic to reduce discomfort. You will be given aftercare instructions post-procedure to ensure proper healing and to reduce scarring.

These include patients that are under 18 years of age, or lesions located on the face, fingers, toes, or genitals.
