Skin lesions
What are the options?

Most skin lesions can be removed under local anaesthetic. Whenever possible, we close the resulting wound directly with sutures to leave as neat a scar as possible. It may not be possible to close larger wounds directly and we might need to use skin grafts or move local flaps of skin and fat into the wound to allow closure. We usually reserve these more complex techniques for wounds left after skin cancer excision.
