Pigmented lesions

Id you have noticed that a new pigmented mole or lesion has recently appeared on an area of your skin it is important that you have it checked out by an experienced doctor with an interest in dermatology.

This is particularly important if it has appeared on an area of your skin that is often exposed to the sun, like your forearms or face. You might have concerns that the new lump could be cancerous, and if it is, removing it could be crucial to your health and wellbeing.

We usually recommend that all lesions and moles we excise are sent for histology testing.  This is a precautionary measure to confirm the nature of the lump you have had removed and to confirm whether you will require further treatments.
