1
We take your history — how long the lesion has been there, how it has changed, and what it is doing to you day to day.
2
The lesion is examined clinically, and with dermoscopy where that is indicated.
3
We talk through the likely diagnosis and the treatment options available here.
4
You agree the price and plan, and treatment is arranged as a separate appointment with a £50 deposit. Anything atypical is referred for specialist assessment instead.
What happens on the day of treatment
1
Written consent is taken and the procedure is explained again, including the risks.
2
The area is cleaned and local anaesthetic is injected. You feel a sharp scratch and a few seconds of stinging, then the area is numb.
3
The procedure is carried out — excision, curettage and cautery, or injection, depending on the lesion.
4
A dressing is applied and you are given written aftercare instructions and a contact number.
4
Where sutures are used they are removed 7–14 days later, and that appointment is included.

Aftercare
Keep the wound clean and dry for 48 hours, avoid stretching or heavy use of the area, and follow the written instructions you are given on the day. Most wounds are comfortable within a few days. Contact us if the wound becomes increasingly painful, red, hot or starts to discharge, or if bleeding does not settle with pressure. Dressings and aftercare products are available in the pharmacy downstairs.
This is a private service and does not replace your NHS GP registration, which we’d always encourage you to keep.
Frequently asked questions
What happens at the assessment?
Thirty minutes with Dr Westwood: your history, examination of the lesion, dermoscopy where indicated, and a clear view on the likely diagnosis and your treatment options. You agree the price and plan, and a treatment appointment can then be arranged.
Why do I have to pay for an assessment before treatment?
Because the assessment is the clinical work. Deciding what a lesion is, whether it is safe to treat here and which technique is appropriate takes examination and expertise, and it is what makes the treatment safe.
How soon can I be treated after assessment?
Treatment is arranged in clinic once your assessment is complete and the price and plan are agreed. A £50 deposit secures the appointment and is deducted from the cost of treatment. It is not bookable online.
What if my lesion needs specialist assessment?
Anything atypical, suspicious or otherwise needing specialist input is referred rather than treated here. Removing such a lesion in a non-specialist setting risks losing information a specialist needs.
Do you do histology and when is it needed?
Yes, where it is clinically indicated as part of your assessment and management. Laboratory examination of removed tissue is £160 for the first lesion and £95 for each additional lesion.
How many lesions can be treated in one session?
Agreed at your assessment, based on what can safely be done in one sitting. Your exact price depends on the size, number and complexity of the lesions treated, and is confirmed at your assessment.
Will I need stitches removed and is that included?
Where sutures are used they are usually removed 7–14 days later depending on the site, and that appointment is included in the treatment price.
