Sources, review and limits
Main sources
- TreatCompare compiled research and provider-published information
Methodology: We compare published private consultation and procedure prices. Suspicious skin lesions require qualified clinical assessment and may need urgent NHS referral.
NHS vs private
Use the NHS route promptly for suspicious, changing or symptomatic lesions. Private dermatology may offer faster checks, but it should not delay urgent suspected cancer assessment.
