Bumps, spots, and everything in between:
understanding your skin lesions
Noticing a new bump, spot, or change on your skin can be unsettling. And with so many different types of skin lesions, it can be hard to know what’s normal. Harmless lesions, such as milia, skin tags, sebaceous hyperplasia, cherry angiomas, and common moles occur frequently and often don’t require treatment. However, some pigmented or changing lesions, such as dysplastic naevi may need closer medical assessment. A professional skin check is the safest way to understand what a lesion is, whether it’s benign, and if monitoring or treatment is recommended.
At Queensland Skin and Laser, our medical team performs thorough skin assessments and can provide evidence-based options to address skin lesion concerns for comfort or cosmetic improvement. Treatments may include minor procedures, laser therapy, or other clinically-guided approaches depending on the type of skin lesion and your individual needs. If a lesion has features that raise concern for skin cancer, we will ensure the appropriate pathway for further investigation. When in doubt, getting your skin checked is the best first step!
Noticing a new or changing skin lesion can be unsettling. While many lesions are harmless, some changes may require closer medical assessment. A professional skin check is the safest way to understand what your lesion is and whether monitoring or treatment is recommended. We offer comprehensive, bulk-billed skin checks, making it easy to have your skin lesion checked with no out-of-pocket cost. When in doubt, getting you skin checked is always the best first step.
Acne lesions can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or cysts when oil and dead skin block pores. They may cause discomfort, inflammation, or ongoing breakouts that impact confidence. At Queensland Skin and Laser, our clinicians can assess your skin and recommend evidence-based treatment options to help manage acne and support clearer, healthier skin.
Birthmarks
Birthmarks are common, harmless areas of pigmentation or vascular change visible from birth or early childhood. While many people choose to leave birthmarks untouched, others seek cosmetic improvement if a birthmark affects appearance or causes irritation. We can examine your birthmark and discuss safe, suitable treatment options when appropriate.
Cherry angiomas are small, bright-red vascular spots that often appear with age. They are usually benign but may become more noticeable over time. Our medical team can assess these vascular lesions and provide options to reduce their appearance if desired.
Milia are tiny, white or yellowish cysts that form when dead skin becomes trapped beneath the surface. They are harmless, but can be persistent and difficult to remove at home. We can evaluate your skin and offer professional treatment options for safe removal.
Moles are common pigmented spots on the skin. Dysplastic naevi are moles that look slightly different to typical moles and may require closer monitoring. Queensland Skin and Laser offers thorough skin checks, and if removal or further investigation is recommended, this will be guided by medical assessment and best-practice care.
Skin Tags Treatment
Skin tags are soft, harmless growths that often develop in areas where skin rubs together. While they don’t usually require treatment, many people choose removal for comfort or cosmetic reasons. Our clinicians can determine the most appropriate removal options for you.
Sebaceous hyperplasia appears as small, raised bumps caused by enlarged oil glands, typically on the face. They are benign but may create uneven texture or aesthetic concern. We can assess these lesions and discuss suitable treatments to help improve skin clarity and smoothness.
