What are Skin Lumps (Moles, Skin Tags, Cysts, Lipomas)?

​

Skin lumps and bumps are skin abnormalities that occur on the surface of their skin or inside the skin layers. These may be classified as skin tags, skin warts or skin moles and can be easily removed by one of our surgeons.

Skin lumps are primarily benign blemishes that are removed for aesthetic reasons. That said, occasionally these lumps and bumps can prove to be a sign of something more dangerous on deeper investigation, and worthy of deeper professional attention.

 

 

What are main types of Skin Lumps and Bumps?

​

Skin lumps and bumps occur all over the body. We are able to offer surgical removal of the following: 

  • Moles

  • Skin Tags

  • Lipomas (fatty lumps)

  • Sebaceous Cysts (fluid filled lump under the skin)

  • Seborrhoeic Keratosis

 

 

The cost of Treatment​

​​

The first step it to book a consultation with the surgeon for assessment and to create your treatment plan.

​

The initial consultation fee is £150

​

Subsequently, the price of removal depends on the type of lump / bump you are having removed. 

​

Mole removal - £495

Lipoma or Sebaceous cyst removal - £595

Skin tag removal £295

​

See our price list for more details 

​​

Please note that some lumps will require additional services, such as imaging with Ultrasound or being send off for histology (to check for cancer cells). We require all moles to be sent for histology and this is in addition to the price of mole removal. 

​​

 

How are lumps and bumps treated?

​

Skin lumps and bumps are treated by surgical removal under local anaesthetic. The skin lump or skin tag is carefully cut away  and completely removed, leaving only a small white or pink scar in its place.
