The service
GP Care is an established provider of private minor surgery services for the removal of various skin lesions including:
- Mole removal;
- Cyst removal;
- Lipoma removal;
- Keratosis removal;
- Skin tag removal;
- Wart removal (certain types only).
GP Care's Minor Skin Surgery clinicians are General Practitioners who have additional training and experience in this field and all of our clinics are at established GP health centres with good access and parking.
Surgery to remove a skin lesion is a quick and straight-forward procedure. The majority of lesions we remove are harmless and are being treated for minor reasons.
The doctor will ask patients questions about the lesion. These may include how long it has been there, whether it has increased in size and details about how it affects daily life. The doctor will also ask about the patient’s general health, past medical history and any medication that the patient is taking. It is important at this stage that the patient asks any questions so that they understand the nature and purpose of the operation.
The operation will involve only a local anaesthetic, so patients will be awake throughout and usually can ask questions while it is taking place. Please note that this is a surgical service and does not include the use of creams.
The cost
The service is delivered from several clinic locations across Bristol and South Gloucestershire at a price of £350 including consultation and procedure.
