Professional Skin Lesion & Mole Treatment in Glasgow

Whether you’re concerned about a visible mole, skin tag, cyst or other skin lesion, Merchant City Medical Group provides consultant-led assessment and treatment in one convenient clinic.

Led by Specialist Register Consultant Plastic Surgeon Dr Karima Medjoub, with over 15 years’ experience, we offer thorough diagnosis and personalised treatment plans tailored to your needs. Where appropriate, many patients can be assessed and treated in a single visit using our streamlined “see and treat” approach.

Our expert care covers a wide range of concerns, including moles, skin tags, cysts, lipomas, benign lesions, and scar management — all delivered with clinical precision and cosmetic consideration.

How the Procedure Works

Consultation

Your visit begins with a detailed consultation with a Specialist Register Consultant Plastic Surgeon. We take time to understand your concerns, examine the lesion, and discuss your medical history and expectations.

Clinical Assessment & Diagnosis

Each lesion is thoroughly assessed to determine its nature — whether benign, suspicious, or requiring further investigation. We explain our findings clearly so you’re fully informed at every stage.

Personalised Treatment Planning

We discuss the most suitable treatment options based on your diagnosis and preferences. Every plan is tailored to achieve the best medical and cosmetic outcome.

Same-Day Treatment When Appropriate

Where clinically suitable, treatment can be performed on the same day as your consultation. Procedures are performed under local anaesthetic using refined surgical techniques designed to minimise discomfort and support optimal healing.

Aftercare & Follow-Up

You will receive clear aftercare guidance, personalised for your procedure. Follow-up appointments are arranged where necessary to monitor healing, review any histology results, and support your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What skin treatments do you offer at Merchant City Medical Group?

We offer a full range of minor skin surgery procedures, including mole assessment and removal, skin tag removal, benign lesion excision with histology, cyst and lipoma removal, skin cancer excision, excision with reconstruction, scar revision, and treatments for raised scars such as keloids and hypertrophic scars.

Q2: Who carries out skin surgery at your Glasgow clinic?

All skin surgery procedures are performed by experienced consultant plastic surgeons with specialist training in both medical and aesthetic skin surgery.

Q3: How quickly can I be seen for a skin concern?

We aim to offer appointments as promptly as possible. Where appropriate, assessment and treatment can often be carried out on the same day using our streamlined consultation and treatment approach.

Q4: Do you offer same-day consultation and treatment?

Yes. In many cases, suitable patients can be assessed and treated during a single visit, helping to reduce waiting times and avoid multiple appointments.

Q5: What is skin tag removal and is it a minor procedure?

Skin tag removal is a straightforward procedure performed under local anaesthetic. The method used depends on the size and location of the skin tag, with the aim of achieving a neat result and minimal impact on surrounding skin.

Q6: What is the difference between shave excision and surgical excision?

Shave excision is used for superficial benign lesions and removes the lesion at skin level. Surgical excision is recommended for deeper lesions or when complete removal with clear margins is required.

Q7: Are removed lesions sent for laboratory testing?

Yes. Where clinically appropriate, removed lesions are sent for histological examination to confirm the diagnosis and provide reassurance.

Q8: Can you remove cysts and lipomas?

Yes. Cysts and lipomas are common benign growths that can be safely removed under local anaesthetic. Our surgeons focus on complete removal while minimising scarring.

Q9: Do you treat skin cancer surgically?

Yes. We provide surgical excision of skin cancers, ensuring appropriate margins are taken and arranging histological analysis, with follow-up care as required.

Q10: What does excision and reconstruction involve?

When a larger lesion is removed, reconstruction may be required to restore both appearance and function. This involves advanced closure techniques designed to achieve the most natural result possible.

Q11: Will removing a skin lesion leave a scar?

Any skin surgery can result in some scarring; however, our consultant plastic surgeons use refined techniques to minimise scar visibility and support optimal healing.

Q12: Can scars be improved after surgery or injury?

Yes. Scar revision procedures aim to improve the appearance, texture, or position of a scar. The most appropriate treatment is discussed during consultation based on the scar type.

Q13: Do you treat keloid and hypertrophic scars?

Yes. Raised scars such as keloids and hypertrophic scars can be treated with targeted steroid injections to reduce inflammation, soften scar tissue, and flatten the scar over time.

Q14: Are skin surgery procedures painful?

Procedures are performed under local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. Most patients experience only mild soreness afterward, which is usually short-lived.

Q15: How do I know if a skin lesion needs treatment?

Lesions may be treated for medical, preventative, or cosmetic reasons. A consultation allows our specialists to assess the lesion thoroughly and advise on the most appropriate next steps.
