Moles and benign skin lesions removal
Treatment or removal of benign skin problems (sometimes called skin lesions) is usually simple and painless, and often takes just minutes.
As well as receiving first-class treatment at RPM Health Clinic, you’ll also benefit from personalised care that puts your wellbeing at the heart of your experience with us.

Depending on your skin problem, you may be recommended one or more of the following treatments:
-
Freezing (cryotherapy), that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and kill off your lesion.
-
Hyfrecator treatment (electrocautery), that involves the tip of a probe which is heated up by an electric current and used to burn off a skin lesion.
-
Scooping away (curettage), where your surgeon uses a spoon-shaped surgical instrument to gently scoop away your lesion.
-
Partial removal (shave biopsy), with cuts across the base of your lesion so it’s level with your surrounding skin.
-
Complete excision (excision biopsy), where the whole skin lesion is cut out and removed.

Coughs, Colds, Respiratory Tract InfectionsAffecting parts of body involved in breathing. Most commonly caused by viruses and bacteria.

Sore Throat and TonsillitisAn acute sore throat includes symptoms of pain, scratchiness or irritation of the throat that often worsens when swallowing. The most common cause of a sore throat (pharyngitis) is a viral infection, such as a cold or the flu. However at times Strep throat (streptococcal infection), a less common type of sore throat caused by bacteria can occur, which requires treatment with antibiotics to prevent complications. Other less common causes for a chronic sore throat, which persists for over 14 days can include silent acid reflux, postnasal drip, environmental causes and even throat cancer.
