Wart & Verucca Treatment with Cryotherapy
Warts and verrucas are ugly, embarrassing and often painful. Whilst they may go away on their own, they can last for 5-10 years. They can spread to other areas of the body or other family members as they are caused by a virus.
At Stonegate we provide an expert cryotherapy service for warts, verrucas and actinic keratoses and other benign skin lesions.
Dr Skeet has 20 years’ experience in treating these skin conditions with cryotherapy and has excellent eradication rates.
The procedure of Cryotherapy is not only safe but also effective.
Providing a natural immunity from future warts and verrucae. The medical grade nitrogen is four times colder and more effective than pens and freeze swabs.

Our Minor Surgery Consultations
There is a lot of variation over the country about what can and cannot be removed on the NHS. Due to its limited resources, the NHS usually cannot perform minor surgery that is deemed ‘cosmetic’ i.e. lumps and bumps that do not cause a medical problem but may be unsightly. However, as a private practice we are able to help you and any concerns you may have.
During your minor surgery consultation our two minor surgery specialists, Dr Craig Skeet or Dr Romesh Sarvanandan will assess your mole, lipoma, lesion or skin tag before they discuss if it is removable and the cost if it is.
