When to act

A worrying mole deserves a fast, definitive answer.

If a mole has changed shape, colour, size or started to bleed or itch, you want it looked at quickly and by someone qualified to make the call. Our London suspect-mole pathway is built for that: a same-week consultant appointment at Harley Street or our City clinic, dermatoscopic assessment, full-thickness excision the same day where appropriate, and histology routed to a UKAS-accredited UK pathology laboratory. Written reports are typically with you inside seven days.

Both London clinics see the same range of cases and the same consultants, so where you're seen depends on where you're starting from. Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Mayfair and the West End sit closest to Harley Street. The City clinic — two minutes from Mansion House on Queen Street — suits patients in EC1–EC4, Canary Wharf, Bermondsey, Bank and anyone arriving from Kent or Essex by rail. The same fee, the same equipment, and the same lab apply at both.

Suspect-mole care is not cosmetic, and we don't approach it cosmetically. The lesion comes off whole, with a clinically appropriate margin, so the pathologist has a complete sample to read. If margins come back narrow we will discuss further excision; if histology returns benign we'll plan any cosmetic refinement separately.

The diagnostic pathway

Four steps that leave no doubt.

Suspect-mole work is a diagnostic discipline first and a surgical one second. Each step below exists to give the histopathologist the cleanest possible answer, and to give you certainty about what you have.

  • Preferred

    Dermatoscopy

    Polarised, high-magnification examination of the lesion. Reveals pigment networks, vascular patterns and asymmetry invisible to the naked eye, scored against the ABCDE framework.

  • Preferred

    Full-thickness elliptical excision

    When excision is indicated we take the lesion plus a clean margin in one full-thickness ellipse. This gives the lab a complete sample, punch and shave biopsies are deliberately avoided for suspect moles.

  • Accredited UK histopathology

    Tissue is sent to a UKAS-accredited pathology lab. A consultant histopathologist reports on cell type, depth (Breslow), margins and any atypia. Typical turnaround: 7–10 working days.

  • Multidisciplinary review

    If the result raises any clinical concern, your case is brought to a multidisciplinary discussion with dermatology and plastic-surgery colleagues so the next step is agreed before you're called.

Understanding the pathway

From a worrying mole to a definitive answer.

If you've been told a mole needs to come off, or you suspect it does, here's what actually happens, written for patients, not for clinicians.

Why early assessment changes outcomes

The single most important variable in melanoma outcome is depth at the time of excision. Caught early, while still confined to the upper skin layer, melanoma has a five-year survival above 99%. Caught later, once it has invaded deeper or spread to lymph nodes, that figure drops sharply. The arithmetic of waiting is harsher than most people realise.

Most moles are harmless and most worrying-looking moles turn out to be benign. But the cost of an unnecessary check is small (one consultation), while the cost of waiting too long with a real melanoma is enormous. We exist to make the unnecessary check easy and the necessary one fast, same week, consultant-led, same-day excision where indicated.

If a mole is changing, growing, darkening, asymmetrical, bleeding, itching, or simply different from your other moles, book. Don't wait to see if it settles. The five-day route to certainty is short.

ABCDE, the warning signs

Five signs to take seriously.

If a mole shows any of the following, even mildly, book a Skin Cancer Check. The ABCDE framework is what your consultant will use during dermatoscopy.

  • 01

    A, Asymmetry

    If you imagine folding the mole in half, the two sides don't match. Benign moles are usually symmetrical.

  • 02

    B, Border

    Edges that are blurred, ragged, notched or irregular rather than smooth and well-defined.

  • 03

    C, Colour

    More than one shade, patches of brown, black, red, blue, white or grey within the same mole.

  • 04

    D, Diameter

    Larger than 6mm (the size of a pencil eraser), though early melanomas can be smaller.

  • 05

    E, Evolving

    Any change over weeks or months: growing, raising, changing colour, itching, bleeding or crusting.

  • 06

    + Personal or family history

    Previous skin cancer, a first-degree relative with melanoma, fair skin or significant sun exposure all raise your baseline risk.

What to expect

From assessment to histology report.

  1. 01

    Skin cancer check

    A 30-minute consultant assessment using dermatoscopy. We examine the mole and any others of concern, then talk you through what we see using the ABCDE framework.

  2. 02

    Same-day excision

    If excision is indicated, your consultant performs a full-thickness elliptical excision under local anaesthetic in the same visit, there's no waiting list.

  3. 03

    Histology

    The removed tissue is sent to an accredited histopathology lab for microscopic analysis. Results are typically returned within 7–10 working days.

  4. 04

    Results & follow-up

    We call you with the histology result and post a written report to you and (with your consent) your GP. We'll discuss any further care needed in plain language.

Transparent pricing

"Excellent service, and care. I had a wart removal on my eyelid, procedure was quick and pain free (even that I was a little bit scared). Dr Mohsan, Kay (assistant), Aoife (receptionist) were very professional and reassuring. I highly recommend this clinic."

"Great experience at this clinic for my son's wart removal. The consultant was professional and made the procedure quick and comfortable. The treatment looks effective and we have been given assurance about after-care. Emily at the receptionist was brilliant and made us welcomed. I would definitely recommend them."

"Thank you Dr Reza and Kay for being amazing. I've always wanted my mole removed and thought long and hard about it and put the time in to research where to go as it is a big deal when it's on your face. I made the right decision! Incredibly professional, did a wonderful job and really helpful with the aftercare. This is a 5 star review as it was a 5 star job. If you're thinking about braving it, get it done. So happy with the results!"

"I thought I would wait a few weeks before doing a review, so I could give a proper account. I had a Seborrheic Keratoses growth on the side of my face that had been bothering me for 2-3 years. I had tried all the usual creams to no effect. I decided to take the plunge and get it removed and opted for the clinic based on previous reviews. The whole process was very professional from start to finish, and the process, and what I could expect, were clearly described to me. Four weeks later I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner, it's also been a tremendous confidence booster. The process was quick and painless, and after a few weeks of healing it has all but disappeared. I'm very happy with the results. I will definitely go back for a few other bits and bobs that need sorting."

"Really fantastic experience. It can be nerve-wracking coming along for something like this (lesion removal) but Dr Georgios was incredibly sensitive, kind and thorough in explaining my options and I felt very reassured and relaxed throughout. I didn't feel a thing during the procedure and it was all so easy and efficient! The nursing and admin staff were fantastic and friendly too. Highly recommended and I'm so glad I made that booking!"

"Super efficient and reliable. Before even going to my appointment my emails and queries were replied to very quickly. I went to have a mole removed and the environment was so friendly; Angelica the receptionist was so welcoming and both the assistant Kay and Dr Sarah made me feel very comfortable. The procedure was quick and all of my questions answered. I know I can come back should anything go wrong. Would definitely recommend!"

"My visit today for removal of a couple of harmless warts by Dr Luciano went extremely smoothly and completely pain free. Having been to the clinic in the past, I had no hesitation to go back for further treatment. I highly recommend their services. The whole team are brilliant, very professional, kind and welcoming. I cannot thank them enough."

"I had an excellent experience with Mr Parviz. He was absolutely amazing at surgically removing my palmar wart. From the initial consultation to the procedure itself, he was professional, reassuring, and extremely skilled. He explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable throughout, and the procedure was smooth and efficient. The care and precision he showed were outstanding, and the healing process has been great. I'm very grateful for his expertise and would highly recommend him to anyone needing similar treatment."
