Surgical Care for Diseases of the Skin and Nails


Moles
Moles are very common and most commonly are referred to us to make sure they are not pre-cancerous or cancerous (malignant melanoma.)
​
Otherwise they are only of concern if they affect a person's appearance, or perhaps, when catching in clothes or jewellery .
​
All CSI GPs will arrange for an urgent hospital opinion if a melanoma is suspected, as this disease requires skin specialist and cancer specialist care.
​
Examination of the skin and diagnosis of melanoma is a skill which CSI doctors have developed. Often they will use an instrument called a dermatoscope to undertake a detailed examintion of a suspect mole.
​
Your CSI GP can reassure you about other moles or remove them in a variety of ways in order to solve your cosmetic or functional problem with a benign mole.
