Moles, Milia, Warts & Skin Tags for men

Our clinicians will use the latest techniques to make any scarring as faint as possible. Once treated your mole, skin tag or cyst is unlikely to grow back, although there is no guarantee that the removal of any lesion will be successful in every case or a permanent solution.

Though safe, any medical procedure is not entirely without risk. The risks of removing moles vary from infection, pigmentation, discoloration, anaesthetic
allergy or nerve damage. One of the most common issues after mole removal is a scar or indentation. Many people choose to remove moles for cosmetic reasons, not realising they may be left with a small scar. However, over time any scarring will often fade.

It is important to note that we only remove skin lesions with verbal or written consent from your G.P or dermatologist. This must be obtained prior to your
consultation with SkinSpaceUK.

Please keep a keen eye out for any mole changes. If you’ve noticed that your mole has changed size, shape or colour or has bled, you will need to be refereed back to your G.P or dermatologist for further examination and
pathology testing.

On the day of your appointment, please eat a normal breakfast or lunch prior to your procedure.

The wound will usually heal on its own within a few weeks, so the aftercare is just simple tending to the site in the recovery period. If you have a dressing, remove it after 24 hours, gently wash and dry the area, and apply either Aquaphor or petroleum jelly as a protective barrier. Continue this routine until the area has healed, usually in one or two weeks. If pain relief is required, Paracetamol is recommended rather than aspirin (which may increase bruising or bleeding at the wound). Shaving can be resumed in the area once any scabs have fallen off. Avoid intense heat such as saunas or extreme cold until any initial swelling has gone. Note that full healing can take several months.

Warts are hard growths on the skin, while skin tags are growths connected to the skin by a stalk called a peduncle.
