Assessed before treated

Every lesion is clinically assessed before any decision about treatment. Anything atypical or suspicious is referred for specialist assessment, not treated here. We may also send the lesion to histopathology.

What it is

Seborrhoeic keratoses are benign, warty growths that appear with age — often described as looking “stuck on” to the skin. They range from pale tan to almost black, and they multiply over the years across the back, chest, face and scalp. They are harmless. They are also frequently mistaken for something more serious, which is a good reason to have one properly assessed.

Assessment matters here

A pigmented, irregular seborrhoeic keratosis can look very like a melanoma to the naked eye, and the reverse is also true. Dermoscopy at assessment distinguishes them. Anything not clearly benign is referred for specialist assessment, not treated.

Assessment comes first

Every lesion is clinically assessed, with dermoscopy where indicated, before any decision about treatment. Anything atypical or suspicious is referred for specialist assessment, not treated here.

Who this is for

  • A lesion catching on clothing or jewellery
  • A lesion that bleeds or becomes inflamed
  • Lesions in a visible position you would rather not have
  • A lesion you would like properly identified

How it works

Curettage and cautery under local anaesthetic — the lesion is removed at skin level and the base sealed. This leaves a shallow graze that heals over one to two weeks, usually with a pale mark that fades. Larger or thicker lesions may be excised instead.

Frequently asked questions

Are these dangerous?
No, they are benign; part of the value of assessment is confirming that.
Will they come back?
A treated lesion does not return, but new ones may appear elsewhere over time.
How many can be treated at once?
Agreed at assessment.
Why is the price a ‘from’ price?
Because size, site and the treatment each lesion needs vary considerably. Your exact price is confirmed at your assessment.
