What Are Skin Lesions & Cysts?
Skin lesions are abnormal growths or spots that may be benign (non-cancerous)
or, rarely, cancerous. Cysts are closed sacs under the skin filled with
fluid, pus, or other material. Both can appear anywhere on the body and
may cause discomfort, infection, or cosmetic concerns.
Common types we treat include:
- Sebaceous cysts
- Epidermoid cysts
- Lipomas (fatty lumps)
- Skin tags
- Benign moles or growths
- Suspicious or changing skin lesions (may require biopsy for diagnosis)
