Skin lesions are visible changes on your skin; they may be raised, discoloured, or textured differently from the surrounding area. Many lesions are benign (non-cancerous), but they can still be uncomfortable, itchy, or catch on clothing.
At Beacon, we regularly treat:
Skin Tags are small, soft, skin coloured growths that hang off the skin, looking similar to warts. They are very common, harmless and can vary in size, from a few millimetres up to about 2 inches wide.
While skin tags are harmless, many people choose to rid of them for comfort or cosmetic reasons.
A keloid scar is a tough, lump scar that is raised quite abruptly above the rest of the skin. They are usually irregularly shaped and, unlike common scars, they tend to enlarge progressively.
Keloids can be uncomfortable, especially on the chest, shoulders, or earlobes, and may be treated with removal or specialist scar management.
