Treatments for skin lesions and spots

Raised spots, brown marks and small growths on the skin are common and usually harmless. We check each one first, then explain the removal options.

Spots and growths we remove

  • Keratosis removal for rough or raised patches of skin.
  • DPN removal for the small dark spots called dermatosis papulosa nigra. Our Level 6 Laser Specialists remove them with the CO2 laser, supervised by a doctor.
  • Xanthelasma removal for yellowish patches on or near the eyelids, carried out by our doctors.
  • Age spot removal for flat brown spots.
  • Venous lake removal for small dark blue or purple marks, often on the lips or ears.

These treatments are at our Leamington Spa clinic. Men can also see our doctors at our Harley Street clinic about genital lesion removal.

Your consultation

A spot is only removed once it has been checked. If anything looks unusual, you will be advised on the next step, which may be a visit to your GP. Your practitioner will explain how the skin heals. Results vary.
