FACIAL blemishes, often referred to as moles, cover many different types of skin lesions.

The vast majority of these will be harmless and do not need to be removed, but if you have any concerns get it checked out for peace of mind.

However, some moles can become a nuisance, such as catching it on a comb, being caught and traumatised when shaving, becoming inflamed and painful or when its appearance is causing embarrassment.

Moles can normally be removed under a local anaesthetic and be analysed to check the diagnosis.

Of course, as with any surgical procedure there will be a scar in its place.

But scars usually fade and are less noticeable than a raised mole. It is now possible to arrange mole removal with Anne Brain, a fully accredited plastic surgeon at Nuffield Health Taunton Hospital.

We offer a one-stop service in our new Healthstyle Suite, with fully-equipped operating facilities. 

You would have a consultation and the opportunity to go ahead with mole removal all at the same appointment.
