Not every lesion needs surgery. Liquid nitrogen, topical treatments, and other non-surgical approaches are appropriate for certain lesion types and will always be discussed before any surgical option is recommended.

Where surgery is the right approach, Mr Potter tailors the technique to the lesion and its location — using aesthetic surgical principles to minimise scarring, particularly on the face. Every lesion he removes is sent for pathological analysis as standard, confirming it is benign and that no further action is required. Where analysis reveals anything concerning, Mr Potter has the specialist skills and clinical network — including links to the Oxford sarcoma service and skin cancer MDT — to ensure appropriate further management.
