The most common lesions that are successfully removed are:
Seborrhoeic keratoses – benign, rough lesions that look like “deposits” on the skin
Viral warts – lesions caused by HPV, often on the hands, feet or face
Papillomas – soft growths, most often on the neck, under the arms or in skin folds
Fibromas – small, soft lesions that are skin-coloured or darker and are easily injured
How are the lesions removed?
Removal is carried out after an expert assessment by a dermatologist, depending on the type, size and location of the lesion. We use modern methods that allow precise and minimally invasive removal, such as:
Electrocoagulation
Cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen)
Surgical removal (if needed)
The procedure is usually short, performed under local anaesthesia and painless. The patient can return to everyday activities immediately.
Why remove these lesions?
Although they are usually benign, skin lesions can:
be an aesthetic nuisance, especially on the face and neck
easily become irritated, bleed or become infected
grow or spread, especially viral warts
require a differential diagnosis (to rule out malignant changes)
That is why it is important to have every lesion checked by a doctor, so that it can be determined with certainty what kind of lesion it is and whether it needs to be removed.
At Menssana Hospital we have combined expertise, experience and the latest technology in the service of your skin. Every lesion is first assessed by a doctor, and then the safest and most effective method of removal is chosen, with full support during recovery.
