Skin lesion surgery is used to remove lesions from the skin, including moles, warts, and other growths. The area around the lesion will be numbed with a local anaesthetic before the procedure. The scalpel is used to remove the lesion and a small amount of surrounding tissue. The wound is then closed with sutures.

You may want to consider this surgery if you have a skin lesion that is unsightly, or it is located in an area where it frequently gets irritated. Lesions can also become cancerous, so removal may be recommended for preventive purposes.
