Minor Surgery

We have cryotherapy clinics for suitable skin lesions. You will first need to be assessed by a doctor who will arrange a cryotherapy appointment if appropriate.

Larger problems can also be dealt with in our dedicated minor surgery sessions which take place monthly. We have a modern, well-equipped facility and experienced staff who will make you feel very at ease. We deal with a large variety of problems and have access to histo-pathology services at Cheltenham General.

We have a strict policy on consent for minor surgery, and any patient under the age of 16yrs needs to be accompanied by an adult.

Please be aware that we cannot perform minor surgery for lesions that would be considered cosmetic on the NHS.

For conditions we can deal with, see below:

• Lipomas (Fatty skin lumps)
• Ingrowing toe nails
• Sebaceous cysts (Hard cysts under the skin) 
• Benign Moles
• Skin tags
• Warts and veruccae
