Surgical treatment of skin lesions
At the Skin Lesions Treatment Outpatient Clinic at Nieborowice Hospital, we see patients who are concerned about a new skin lesion, a changing mole, recurrent irritation, or lesions that affect comfort or aesthetics. The aim of the consultation is to assess the lesion clinically, interpret any existing documentation, and recommend the most appropriate next step — whether that is observation, further diagnostic work-up, or removal.
During the visit, the clinician takes a detailed medical history (including how long the lesion has been present, whether it has changed in size, colour or shape, and any associated symptoms such as bleeding, itching or pain) and performs a focused skin examination. If removal is advised, the patient receives clear information on the recommended method, preparation, aftercare and follow-up.
When a lesion is excised, the removed tissue may be sent for histopathological examination when clinically justified, to confirm the diagnosis and guide further management. The clinic focuses on a transparent, step-by-step pathway so that patients know exactly what the findings mean and what to do next.

Diagnostics and tratment
Skin lesions commonly referred to as “moles” are various types of skin cell proliferations. They may appear as darkly pigmented spots, most often caused by an accumulation of pigment-producing skin cells called melanocytes. Over time, and as the skin ages, these lesions may change — they can increase in size or alter in colour. Most people have anywhere from several to even dozens of such lesions on the body, and in the majority of cases they prove to be benign. In some patients, however, an excised skin lesion unfortunately turns out to be malignant.
During the physical examination and dermoscopy (using a dermatoscope), an experienced physician specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of skin lesions can determine which lesions should be removed without delay and which can be left under regular observation. Unlike various techniques such as laser therapy or cryotherapy (freezing), only surgical excision with histopathological examination allows for an unambiguous assessment of whether a lesion is malignant or benign.
Most lesions are removed during the first visit.
All removed skin lesions are routinely sent for histopathological examination to confirm the nature of the lesion.
Clear clinical assessment
A structured consultation focused on the lesion itself and the patient’s symptoms – with a practical recommendation for the next step.
Qualification for removal when indicated
When appropriate, we qualify patients for lesion removal and explain the method, aftercare and follow-up.
Diagnostic confirmation when needed
Histopathology may be used for excised lesions when clinically justified, to confirm the diagnosis.
