It is important to report to your doctor any unusual pigmented skin lesions.

Holiday destinations often imply sunburn, and our lovely part of Ireland is no different.

We urge patients to take good care of their family’s skin by using sun block and wearing hats.

Mizen Medical provides the following services:

CRYOTHERAPY 

This well established method of removing a variety of unwanted skin lesions including warts, involves the use of liquid nitrogen to ‘freeze’ them off. Mizen Medical Practice runs the cryotherapy clinic once a week. Your doctor will refer you to reception to make an appointment for the next available Cryo clinic.

DIATHERMY 

Diathermy involves removal of skin lesions using heat

JOINT INJECTIONS 

Mizen Medical GPs have experience in injecting painful joints such as shoulder and knee for relief of symptoms

STITCHING OF MINOR WOUNDS 

Where feasible this can be undertaken in the surgery or wounds can be stabilised before referring the patient on to Bantry General Hospital Local Injuries Clinic or Cork University Hospital
