Lumps

Dermatologists specialise in the identification and treatment of all skin lumps.

Types of Lumps

Cysts

Cysts are closed sacs that can be found on or in the body, and they are typically filled with liquid, like a blister, although they might be filled with another substance. If the capsule is filled with pus, it is not a cyst; it is an abscess.

Freckles and Age Spots

Both freckles and age spots are caused by pigmentation in the skin called melanin.

Lipomas

Lipomas are lumps of tissue within the skin that are caused by an overgrowth of fat cells.

Warts and Verrucae

Most people will develop a wart at some point in their lives, and there are several different types of warts. Warts commonly appear on the hands, knees, or feet, but they can also appear on the face.

Seborrhoeic Keratoses

Seborrhoeic keratoses are non-cancerous growths that occur on the skin, and they may also be called basal cell papilloma, or seborrhoeic warts. They may be itchy and look like warts, but they are not contagious.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are painless, non-cancerous growths that occur on the skin, and are connected to the skin by a small, thin stalk which is called a peduncle.
