About MOLES & SKIN BLEMISHES
Most moles & skin blemishes are completely harmless. Moles are small patches on the skin that form due to collections of cells called melanocytes, which produce the colour (pigment) in your skin. The scientific name for moles is melanocytic naevi.
A blemish is any type of spots, discoloration, mark or flaw on the skin. Skin blemishes can be removed with various forms of burning or freezing such as cautery, laser or liquid nitrogen. Your plastic surgeon will inform you as to the best way to remove your unattractive blemishes. Some blemishes, however, can signal skin cancer.
Signs of Moles &
Skin Blemishes
- The mole has uneven shading or dark spots.
- The spot is changing in size, shape or texture.

Are there any risks involved with
Moles & Skin Blemishes removal?
Risks of mole removal methods vary from infection to rare anesthetic allergy and very rare nerve damage. One of the most common difficulties after mole removal is a scar. Mole removal is a very simple procedure and considered a very minor surgery. Many patients have moles and blemishes removed each year without any problems or complications. Before the procedure takes place, your surgeon will discuss the risks involved and explain the entire procedure from start to finish together with any after-care that may be required and give the best treatment that suits your circumstances. The surgical wound may bleed a little. It will be covered with a dressing. The surgical wound could develop an infection, which can usually be treated with antibiotics. Signs of an infection could include redness and swelling.
Other risks vary depending on the area being treated and the method of removal. It is always advisable to choose a dermatologist or surgeon with appropriate skills and experience with these removals. You can visit our clinic to meet cosmetic surgeons in Manchester, Chester and Preston. They provide good advice and care for the removal of moles and blemishes.
Post Operative Activities
- It is recommended you leave the dressing on for 48-72 hours depending on where the site is.
- Gently cleanse the wound with a Cetaphil cleanser or gentle fragrance free soap. Do not use antibacterial soap. Rinse well.
- Some people get itchy bumps or blisters around the wound site. This is usually due to an allergy to the antibiotic ointment.
- Sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, sunglasses, and hats reduce your exposure to UVA and UVB rays. This can help protect your skin from additional damage.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
I had three procedures done with Mr Siddiqui, lip lift, breast implants and labiaplasty. I did a lot of research into surgeons and Mr Siddiqui stood out to me online he has a great profile and amazing reviews. My first consultation went really well, I was completely at ease, Mr Siddiqui explained everything thoroughly. A few weeks later I was in hospital having my procedures done, I was very well looked after and everything went smoothly. The aftercare was great. Between appointments Mr Siddiqui was only a WhatsApp or text message away, he was in touch everyday to begin and if I had any concerns he always replied quickly. I’m 6 weeks on from my procedures now and I am healing well and feeling great. I am very happy with my results. I can’t recommend Mr Siddiqui enough.

So glad I chose Dr Siddiqui, after searching for a qualified surgeon he stood out from the rest! He sounded perfect for my breast reduction. When I went for my consultation he made me feel at ease and explained everything very clearly. He was so nice and suggested a size that would suit my frame. His secretary Rachel, clinic team and staff were also very nice! Surgery went really well. Dr Siddiqui gave me his mobile number to text or call if I needed anything. The morning after surgery he messaged me to see how I was, which I thought was lovely. My recovery was really good, I was back at work a week later. I am very pleased with the result, just love my new size. Dr Siddiqui is an excellent surgeon and I highly recommend him.

Mr Siddiqui was great throughout my entire process. Consultation was thorough and covered every question or worry that I had. Despite being scared on the day, Mr Siddiqui and other staff helped me feel comfortable going through with surgery and since then the aftercare has been great. Any concerns I’ve had were discussed with me and resolved, regular check-ups since surgery and lifelong aftercare is amazing! Would definitely recommend

I highly recommend Mr Siddiqui to anyone who is considering a cosmetic procedure. Thanks to the extremely positive reviews provided by his past and present patients, it was very easy to choose him. From initial contact with his secretary and two meetings with Mr Siddiqui prior to my procedure and the aftercare I received, I could not have wished for a more professional, caring, and high-quality medical experience. This review adds to countless other 5-star reviews for Mr Siddiqui and hopefully will allay any concerns about undergoing a cosmetic procedure under him. I would also advise reading many of Mr Siddiqui’s superb reviews. They are testimony to his friendly and approachable character and professionalism. Thank you so much Mr Siddiqui. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome of my procedure.
