Diagnosis & Removal Of Common Skin Lumps & Bumps

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer refers to abnormal growths on the skin, often caused by overexposure to UV radiation. It can appear as lesions or unusual changes in existing moles, and requires early diagnosis and treatment to prevent spread.

Breast Cyst

Breast cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop in the breast tissue. While many resolve on their own, regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare professional can help determine the most appropriate course of action.

Moles

Moles are growths on the skin that are typically benign. However, changes in their size, shape, or colour could be a sign of skin cancer.

It is usually monitored & if removal is necessary, it can be done through a quick surgical procedure, often for cosmetic reasons or to rule out any health concerns.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, soft, flesh-coloured growths that often appear in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, groin, or under the breasts. They are usually harmless but can become irritated by friction or cause cosmetic concerns.

Treatment usually includes quick removal by freezing, cauterising, or snipping under local anaesthetic.

Warts

Warts, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can be resistant to over-the-counter treatments and cause discomfort, especially on pressure points, like foot soles. Surgical removal provides a permanent solution by eliminating the wart at the root and reducing the risk of recurrence.

Milia

Milia are small, white cysts that typically form around the eyes, though they can also appear on other areas of the face. These cysts occur when dead skin cells become trapped in the pores, forming hard, pearly bumps. While they are generally harmless, milia can cause cosmetic concerns.

Ingrown Pubic Hair

Ingrown hairs occur when a hair grows back into the skin, leading to inflammation and discomfort.

Treatment typically includes professional removal of ingrown hairs to relieve pain and prevent further occurrences.

Cysts

Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form under the skin, often causing discomfort or cosmetic concerns.

They can be easily removed through a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthesia.

Lipoma

Lipoma is a benign fatty growths that is soft, movable, and typically require removal if they cause discomfort or aesthetic concerns.

It is usually removed by a straightforward surgical procedure with minimal scarring.

A mole is a pigmented lesion found on the skin made up of local growth of melanocytes (piment producing cells). Moles can be congenital (from birth) or acquired.

Cancerous moles can be any colour, shape or size. They can arise from a pre-existing mole, however most cancerous moles are new moles. Warning signs are lesions that are new, multi-coloured, itching, bleeding, growing/ changing shape or look different from the rest of your moles

There are different types of skin cancer. Any mole that is new and changing/ evolving may represent a cancerous mole and should be assessed by a Dermatologist. In addition, any new and non-healing lesion should also be further assessed.

A skin tag is a common soft harmless lesion that has the appearance of hanging off the skin. Skin tags tend to occur as we age and are commonly found in body folds/ the neck area.

Warts are caused by the HPV virus and are common. Warts may be contagious if the skin is broken or macerated.
