Thank you TriciaF and everyone else for your replies. I will go and see the local dermatologist as soon as I can get an appointment after Christmas.

I wouldn't worry about the language, Antonia. The dermatologist will look at it and know what you want done. Ask your french GP to write a referral letter, and take it with you.
I had a small mole on my arm which was spreading a bit, and after seeing my GP (he sent off a sample) had it cut out by a dermatologist (in Toulouse, France.)
Excellent care and didn't have to wait long.

Most GP surgeries in England have one doctor who does minor ops and this is classed as a minor op. My surgery has a weekly list. I personally would not have anything done there because I do not think that it is the correct environment and space is at a premium.

Who not whom!

My son whomlives in Spain had similar on his face and as area her wanted it removed before term. No problems having that done inSpain so should think same for France

Thank you Tanith. I have just plucked up the courage to ring the doctors about it and the receptionist gave me the number of the dermatologist. They are on holiday at the moment but I can get an appointment in the new year. I will just have to brush up on the language skills and go for it. Thank you both for your replies, you have given me the incentive I needed! Just love Gransnet!

Antonia one of the doctors in our practice removes skin tags in the surgery so when you register here maybe there will be someone there who can remove it for you.

Thank you Cherrytree59. We will be in the UK in May so will try to find someone to remove it. Or I might try the doctor here again.

Hi have had three removed by my doctor (Uk). With no after problems
If you feel you can't wait private hospitals also will remove them.
