Tired of covering up skin tags, avoiding sleeveless tops because of that lump, or feeling self-conscious about moles?
Remove those annoying bumps and lumps that have been bothering you
YOUR PROBLEM, CONFIDENTLY SORTED!
What you don't want?
You no longer want to have that unsightly thing in your face, you don’t want that lump in your body, without knowing exactly what it is, and you don’t want to be concerned about that mole in your leg and fear whether or not it could be potentially malignant. And you don’t want to hear once again from your GP that’s a “cosmetic problem” that cannot be treated with the NHS
What you want?
You want a professional that listens to you, that explains everything in plain language, and a quick removal of your lump or mole with minimal scarring and almost no downtime, without interruption of your daily activities, including exercise. In a nutshell, you want a solution that addresses your lump or skin lesion effectively and with confidence
What you get?
An exceptional experience from the beginning to the end, delivered in a comfortable, private setting where you’re treated like the VIP you are. You will receive personalised attention rather than feeling just like another appointment on a surgical list. Mr. Arturo Almeida will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring complete transparency and understanding. He deeply believes in clear communication, so all explanations will be provided in straightforward language, demystifying the procedure and empowering you with knowledge about your care. And with one big goal in mind: to achieve the best outcome and your peace of mind.
“I am a firm believer of the key importance of communication which starts with carefully listening to my patients, so I can fully understand what they want. I really want my patients to feel at ease, to be part of the entire journey, to fully understand the different treatment options, including doing nothing, and all thoroughly explained in plain English, professionally but without overusing medical jargon”
- Mr. Arturo Almeida
I’ve always struggled with scalp cysts and I recently sought professional help. My first attempt with another surgeon unfortunately didn’t go well, so I decided to contact Mr. Almeida. From the first consultation to the procedure and follow-up, Dr. Almeida was attentive, reassuring, and explained everything clearly.
The procedure was quick and painless, and I felt comfortable the whole time. Mr. Almeida ensured clean incisions, no pain, no scarring, and a quick recovery. His care impressed me.
I’m so grateful for the amazing care I received, and I can’t thank him enough for helping me get rid of those pesky scalp cysts

What is "Minor Surgery"?
We get it, sometimes medical terms can be confusing. A surgery is always a surgery, something that most people dread. Minor Surgery, other times referred to as “Minor Operations” or MOPs, are surgical treatments aimed to remove those “lumps and bumps” that are frequently found in the body and face surface, that are in cases cosmetically unsightly but also can produce symptoms, or concerns about potential “skin cancers”. These procedures are performed under local anaesthesia to make it pain-free, in an office-based setting, by an experienced professional.
In the following video, Mr. Arturo Almeida explains what minor surgery is and answers the most frequently asked questions:
UNDERSTANDING YOUR LUMPS AND BUMPS:
A simple guide
Skin Tags
Those soft, hanging pieces of skin that catch on clothing and jewelry
What they are: Small, benign growths that hang off your skin like little tags or sometimes like tiny balloons. Completely harmless but annoying – especially when they catch on necklaces, bra straps, or clothing.
How we remove them: Quick, precise removal using radiofrequency or electrocoagulation that leave virtually no mark. Most people are amazed at how simple and painless the process is.
Moles (Both Cosmetic & Concerning Ones)
Those dark spots that might be bothering you for looks or health reasons
What they are: Collections of pigment cells that can be flat or raised. Some people love their moles, but most want them gone or they are concerned of whether or not they could be cancerous, especially if they’ve changed in size and/or colour.
How we remove them: Careful and pain-free surgical removal that preserves healthy skin around the mole. And of course, If there’s any medical concern, we send a sample for pathology testing. All explained in detail
Cysts
Those firm lumps under your skin that feel like a marble or grape
What they are: lumps under your skin filled with sebum, a natural substance produced by your skin glands (think of it like cottage cheese texture). These cysts are contained by a structure called “sac” that, if left behind, will make them re-grow. Cysts won’t go away on their own and often get bigger over time.But what it’s worse, they frequently get infected, producing inflammation, pain and sometimes, they spontaneously burst, and they need to be treated first with oral antibiotics before any excision is planned
Common locations: Scalp, face, neck, back – anywhere you have hair follicles.
How we remove them: Complete surgical removal of both the contents AND the sac wall (this is crucial – if any sac remains, it grows back). Done under local anesthetic so you feel nothing.
Lipomas
Those soft, squishy lumps that move around under your skin
What they are: Benign tumors made of fat cells – think of them as fat that’s decided to clump together in one spot instead of spreading evenly. They feel soft and rubbery, like a stress ball under your skin. They can grow to a significant size, and sometimes they are located within the muscle, not just underneath the skin. Therefore it’s important to be properly assessed.
How they’re different from cysts: Lipomas are made of fat (soft but firm, movable), cysts contain sebum (softer, like cottage cheese). However, they are sometimes difficult to differentiate and many GPs may get this wrong. That’s why an ultrasound scan (USS) is always performed to properly diagnose big lumps, which will help to assess both the size and the depth of the lipoma.
How we remove them: Surgical, pain free,removal through a small incision. The procedure will take as long as we need to assure a pain-free, complete removal of the lipoma to minimise the possibility of recurrence. And sometimes, the lipoma usually “pops out” in one piece, which patients often find fascinating to see (if they want to look!).
Other Lumps & Bumps
Various skin growths that might be puzzling you
Cherry angiomas (those bright red spots): Small blood vessel growths – completely harmless but cosmetically annoying.
Xanthelasmas (yellowish patches around eyes): Cholesterol deposits that can indicate high cholesterol levels.
Warts (rough, bumpy growths): Viral infections that are stubborn to treat, frequently located in hands, forearms and feet, but also in more private locations (normally referred to as “condilomas”)
Seborrheic keratoses (rough, “stuck-on” looking patches): Age-related growths that look concerning but are completely benign.
I’ll explain exactly what you have during your consultation and show you photos of similar cases.
“I had a big lipoma in my shoulder recently removed by Dr. Almeida. I had another lipoma removed in the past by another surgeon and the experience was not pleasant, so I was a bit reluctant at first. But the detail he put into his explanations,in plain English and no medical jargon, the reassurance he gave me and the entire atmosphere made me feel at ease, and the lipoma – a big one – was successfully excised under local anaesthetic, avoiding the need for any hospitalisation. And with an amazing cosmetic result!”

“I have had several minor operations with Dr. Almeida and his team in Askern, Doncaster. And all I can say is it has been a fantastic experience. Dr. Arturo is not just a very skilled surgeon (I have barely no scars after the surgeries, including 2 on my face) but an amazing human being. He helped me to be at ease, was genuinely interested in me and we had very interesting conversations while he was doing his craft.I can’t recommend him enough”
