MOLE REMOVAL
Moles are a form of pigmented lesion. Benign (non-cancerous) lesions can simply be left alone. However, if your mole bothers you in any way, get in touch with us and we can discuss what your options may be.

Surgery can often be quite a daunting experience and something many of us don’t really want to think about. Because of this, here at Red Rose we will tailor your experience to you. Before your surgery, you will meet the surgeon who will be carrying out your procedure, giving you a chance to ask questions and find out more details. The surgeon will also carry out a detail, physical examination prior to the surgery, as well as talking you through the procedure details. Following this, we will put together a personalised recovery plan including treatment and follow-up. We ensure that your comfort and safety are our priority, and these are at the heart of what we do best.
Skin lesions are usually removed under local anaesthetic. After careful examination, the area around the mole will be cleaned with anti-bacterial solution to limit infection. There may be a surgical drape placed around the area to ensure a sterile working area.
To remove the mole, your surgeon will cut all the way around it using an oval cut. The mole(s) will be placed in specimen jar(s) and sent to a lab for analysis. Your surgeon will close the wound with stitches (if needed) and cover it with a dressing.
