Skin, Lumps & Minor ProceduresAbout this service
Benign skin lesion removal in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic takes off a small, superficial, non-cancerous growth such as a mole or cyst that you would like removed for comfort, cosmetic reasons, or simply peace of mind. Even when a lesion is benign, it can still catch on clothing, be irritating, or bother you when you look in the mirror. Your doctor will examine the lesion in our rooms first to confirm it is suitable for straightforward removal, then use local anaesthetic before removing it.
The sample may be sent for laboratory confirmation depending on its appearance. Book a consultation if you have a mole, cyst, or skin growth you would like assessed.
