There are many different types of lesions that can grow on the skin, and more of them often appear as we age.
Below is information on some of the most common types of benign skin lesions, but it certainly is not an exhaustive list. Due to the countless types, variation, and complexity of lesions that can present on the skin, obtaining an assessment by a dermatologist is vital for diagnosis and knowing the best method of treatment.
After a thorough discussion of your medical history and the history of your skin growth, the dermatologist will be able to work with you to create a treatment plan that is safe, effective, and meets your goals.
