 Mole Removal

Moles are pigmented skin lesions, typically brown or black in colour. Some people have numerous moles across their body, while others have only a few. Moles usually develop during childhood, and it's less common for new moles to appear after age 30 — though existing moles can gradually change in appearance as we age.

It's important to keep an eye on your moles for any changes. If you have concerns, consulting a Consultant Dermatologist can help provide reassurance and clarity.

Dr Wernham uses dermoscopy to assess whether a mole shows any features of concern. Following assessment, he can advise you on mole removal and what to expect from the procedure.

When a mole is removed, it is best practice to send it for analysis under the microscope. This allows a pathologist to check for any signs of melanoma, a type of skin cancer that can affect moles.

Patients seek mole removal for a range of reasons, including irritation from clothing or shaving, cosmetic concerns, or anxiety about skin cancer.

Interested in costs?

You'll first need an initial consultation (see booking information) to review the lesion, carry out a skin cancer assessment, and discuss the procedure and consent.

The cost of mole excision typically ranges from £900 to £1,200, depending on the time involved and any reconstruction needed. Dr Wernham will provide an exact quote following your initial assessment. This fee covers hospital expenses, histology (analysis of the removed sample to confirm margins and diagnosis), and, where necessary, stitch removal or a single wound review, along with your results delivered by letter.
