Abstract
Most skin lesions are fairly small and can be removed under local anaesthetic. They are, therefore, ideal for day-case surgery. The skin requires suitable preparation with antiseptic solution, after which the lesion is excised (ideally in one piece), and then the wound is closed to achieve a neat cosmetically acceptable scar.
