Experts in moles and dermatology

Moles can be extremely daunting to discover. Our dermatologists are experts in examining all skin lesions with a dermoscope to ensure you get the most accurate diagnosis.

If you’re wondering what a dermoscope is, it’s a tool that allows us to view your lesion under magnification, allowing us to see it a lot clearer. It’s also a great way for us to detect skin cancer early.

The good news is, dermoscopy is completely painless and is an excellent way to put your mind at ease.

Specialist dermoscopy services

Our dermatologists are experts at assessing moles and determining what treatment they require.

Our doctors offer two types of services: multiple lesion screening and single lesion screening. So, whether you’re worried about multiple lesions, or a new changing lump or bump on your skin, we can offer a 15 or 30-minute consultation to put your mind at ease.

Good practices to prevent melanoma

Our Specialisms

Mole mapping, management & removal

Full body mole mapping and monitoring for complete peace of mind.  Suspicious moles or other lesions can be removed quickly and efficiently.

Treatment of cysts

Sebaceous cysts are common but harmless. We recommend removal of unsightly, uncomfortable or infected cysts at one of our clinics with our experienced doctors.

Treatment of warts and verrucas

We can treat warts and verrucas these with liquid nitrogen. This freezes them to a very low temperature and allows them to easily fall off. For the best possible result, we recommend combining this technique with an at home treatment using salicylic acid. It can take up to two or three sessions of liquid nitrogen to fully remove most warts and verrucas.

Treatment of keloids scars

Keloid scars can’t be removed completely, but there are several ways to improve their appearance. Oxona’s specialists offer consultation and a range of therapies, helping you choose the right path for you.

Treatment of skin tags

These common and some-what annoying tags can easily be removed by Oxona doctors using a freezing techniques or cautery. We can arrange to remove multiple tags in one session if needed.

Treatment of seborrhoeic keratosis

These harmless growths that we get with age can easily be removed for an improved cosmetic result. 

Treatment of basal cell carcinoma

This common skin cancer is slow growing and can be easily be removed by one of our experts. Unfortunately, there are some rare subtypes (or particularly complex ones near the nose mouth or eye) that we cannot remove at Oxona, but instead we can refer you to an NHS consultant dermatologist or a private clinician who specialise in these difficult areas.

Treatment of cherry angiomas

These are bright red harmless growths that usually appear with age. They are easily removed by our doctors with a cautery technique.

Treatment of malignant melanoma

Melanomas are becoming more common in the UK as we spend more time in the sun. If we spot a melanoma during your consultation we can refer you immediately to an NHS consultant and you will be seen within 2 weeks for a formal diagnosis and surgery. If you wish to be seen privately, we can also refer you to a private consultant.

Treatment of lipomas

Lipomas are rarely a cause for concern, although it is important to have them checked out. We offer surgical removal procedures under local anaesthetic.

Treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis

Seborrhoeic Dermatitis can cause dandruff in the hairline as well redness and flakiness usually on the T-zone of the face. This common condition can easily be treated by our Oxona doctors.

Other skin conditions

Our Dermatology doctors don’t just treat the common skin conditions. Our expertise means that we can diagnose and treat uncommon and rare conditions as well.

Frequently asked questions

Can I claim for my appointment on insurance?

You need to speak to your insurer prior to your appointment. Some insurers will reimburse you for the appointment, but you will need to present any documentation at the time of your appointment for the doctor to sign. Please note that all our doctors are registered with the GMC on the GP register not the consultant register. Please ensure you make this clear to your insurers at the outset.

Why is cyst removal more expensive than mole or blemish removal?

Cyst removal can be more complex as usually they are stuck down to underlying tissue. The cyst has to be teased away very carefully to ensure the entire cyst is removed and so that you get the best possible cosmetic result.

Do you treat children under the age of 18?

Yes, we can treat under 18s at both our clinics. However, for more invasive procedures or those requiring a certain level of pain tolerance, such as verruca freezing, we would recommend only over 10s.
