Methods and treatment areas
Colour, border, growth, bleeding or shape changes matter. Suspicious lesions are not treated as purely cosmetic; dermatological assessment and tissue examination may be needed.
Suitability and precautions
Excision, superficial methods or other techniques may be considered for suitable lesions. Destructive methods such as laser may be inappropriate when tissue is needed for pathology.
Benefits and expectations
The aim is to select an option suited to your concern. Alternatives, including observation when appropriate, are discussed. Benefit depends on tissue, condition and method; results and recovery vary.
Risks and aftercare
Scarring, pigment change, infection and recurrence are discussed. Sutures and dressings depend on the method. Follow-up includes any pathology report.
