    Minor Surgery Treatments

    Dermatological Surgery Unit

    Dermatological surgery allows skin lesions to be diagnosed and treated for both medical and aesthetic reasons.

    At our clinic, we perform skin lesion excision procedures in Sotogrande, using precise surgical techniques that minimise scarring and allow for a quick recovery.

    The most common dermatological treatments are:

    • Mole removal (nevus excision).
    • Wart removal.
    • Facial wart removal.
    • Removal of skin tags or soft fibromas.
    • Excision of sebaceous cysts.
    • Lipoma removal.
    • Removal of seborrhoeic keratoses.
    • Diagnostic skin biopsy.
    • Excision of suspicious skin lesions.
    • Melanoma or malignant tumour.

    When medically indicated, the excised lesions are sent for histopathological analysis to confirm the diagnosis.

    Dermatological surgery allows skin lesions to be diagnosed early and improves the appearance of the skin through minimally invasive procedures.

    Podiatric Surgery Unit

    Podiatric surgery allows foot conditions that can cause pain, infections or difficulty walking to be treated.

    At our clinic, we perform outpatient podiatric surgery in Sotogrande, using safe procedures that allow the problem to be resolved definitively in many cases.

    Minor foot surgery

    The most common procedures include:

    • Ingrown toenail surgery.
    • Surgical treatment of onychocryptosis.
    • Removal of plantar warts.
    • Excision of cysts or skin lesions on the foot.
    • Correction of nail disorders.
    • Treatment of painful hyperkeratosis.

    An ingrown toenail is one of the most common foot conditions and can cause recurrent infections. Phenol-alcohol nail surgery allows the root of the problem to be corrected and helps prevent recurrence.

    We perform the most effective techniques with the shortest possible recovery time.
