Excision of Skin Lumps Treatment in London

Excision of Skin Lumps

A vast majority of lumps or bumps that appear on the skin are harmless, such as skin tags, cysts, benign moles or lipomas. These usually are of little concern, other than aesthetic, but may cause problems when irritated or caught on clothes. Lumps on the skin may make those with them feel embarrassed and self-conscious in regard to their appearance, however, at Dermasurge, we offer a variety of treatments for removing lumps from the skin.

What does the treatment do?

Amongst the treatments we offer here at Dermasurge, are procedures for the excision of skin lumps. This is a minor surgery that can be performed under local anaesthetic. During excision, the skin lump and some of the surrounding skin are cut away, leaving only healthy tissue behind.

The purpose of this operation is to remove lumps or bumps on the skin that are benign (noncancerous). These growths can be due to a number of different conditions, including, moles, cysts, skin tags or warts.

This procedure is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day.

All dermatology treatments at Dermasurge are prefaced with a consultation with Dr Hiba Injibar, our founder and consultant dermatologist. During your consultation, Dr Injibar will be able to examine your skin lumps, assess your condition and determine the best possible treatment plan based on your unique needs.

How is the growth removed?

The specific technique that will be used to remove your growth will depend on its size, location, and type.

Large growths may require cutting with a scalpel and stitching (suturing) the wound closed. Smaller growths may only require removal with a cautery device, which uses heat to destroy tissue.

After the growth is removed, the area will be covered with a dressing. You will likely have some bruising and swelling after the procedure, but this should subside within a few days.

You will be given specific instructions on how to care for your wound and when to return for follow-up. It is important to keep the area clean and dry and to avoid picking or scratching at the incision site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any downtime after a skin lump excision?

Patients will be able to go home shortly after the procedure, and return to work the following day, but should take care in the days following in order to ensure healthy healing and minimise the risk of infection. Over-the-counter pain relief may be used if necessary. After examining your skin, Dr Injibar will be able to better advise on how much downtime is to be expected.

Are there any side effects?

As a surgical procedure, excision of skin lumps may result in pain in the treatment area, as well as bleeding, or scarring.

Will my skin lump come back?

Whether the skin lump returns or not will depend on the type of skin lump that occurs. For example, a lipoma or epidermoid cyst may return over time.

What is the aftercare procedure?

Patients will need to return to Dermasurge within two weeks in order to have stitches removed, during which time Dr Injibar will be able to assess the condition of the healing wound and effectiveness of treatment. Leading up to their follow-up appointments, patients should take care to keep the treated area clean, dry, and free of strain or damage. It can take up to three weeks for the skin to heal, and painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may be used to manage any discomfort.

Dr kept me at ease throughout the procedure and made sure I was doing well at all times. I was able to recover without any trouble in the timescale I was given and the result was clear to see. Would highly recommend Dr Hiba Injibar.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!

I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.

Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.

Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
