Checks & Minor Procedures
Curettage
Removal of a benign lesion, with the tissue sent for analysis.
Overview
Under local anaesthetic the lesion is removed with a curette and the base is sealed. Where there is any question about what the lesion is, the tissue is sent for histology so you get a definite answer rather than an opinion.
What it does
- Tissue sent for histology so the diagnosis is certain
- Local anaesthetic — the procedure itself is painless
- Usually heals without stitches
- Carried out by a doctor, not delegated
Best for
Raised benign lesions, seborrhoeic keratoses and warts that have not responded to other treatment.
After your appointment
- Keep the wound dry and dressed for 48 hours
- Healing takes 2–3 weeks and leaves a small pale mark
- SPF 50 on the site for 3 months
