GP-Led Minor Skin Surgery in Leicester

At The Health Suite Leicester, we understand that skin concerns can affect not just your health, but your confidence and day-to-day comfort. That’s why we’ve introduced a dedicated minor skin surgery service, delivered by an experienced GP with a specialist interest in minor surgical procedures.

This service is designed to complement, not duplicate, our consultant dermatologist’s work. While our dermatologist focuses on complex skin disease and medical dermatology, our GP-led minor surgery service in Leicester offers straightforward, affordable treatment for common lumps, bumps and lesions—with short waiting times and transparent pricing.

Conditions and Procedures We Offer

We provide assessment and treatment for a wide range of skin lesions and minor surgical conditions, including:

• Mole removal – shave or excision for benign lesions that cause irritation or cosmetic concern.
• Skin tag removal – single or multiple tags, often around the neck, underarms, or groin.
• Sebaceous cyst removal (Epidermoid cyst) – safe excision under local anaesthetic.
• Lipoma removal – small fatty lumps that can be unsightly or uncomfortable.
• Seborrhoeic keratosis treatment – using cryotherapy or shave curative.
