Lumps & Bumps

Lumps or bumps on the skin are usually elevated, or raised, areas that can vary in size, shape, texture and colour from the surrounding skin.

While many of us worry that a new skin growth could be skin cancer, we want to reassure you that, in most cases, they are not. Nonetheless, even benign and non-cancerous lesions can be bothersome — they might cause pain, bleed, or get caught on things and become a nuisance for you.

If you spot a new or changing lump, it is important to have it assessed by a dermatologist for the correct diagnosis then to determine appropriate treatment options available to you. This is where our Consultant Dermatologist can provide the help and advice you need.
