What are types of skin lesions?
Moles – dark, usually small lesions, can appear anywhere in the body.
Dermatofibroma – firm and raised with a central scar lesion of light, brown, red or purple color. Most common cause if dermatofibroma is some kind of damage to the skin, which took long to heal – like acne, ingrown hair, cut, trauma etc. It’s not cancer.
Skin tag – excess of the skin, folded into lumps. Can be anywhere and different sizes. Commonly found around pressure and chronic irritation sites of the body. Acantosis nigricans – it’s skin tags around neck and under armpits can be associated with underlying risk of diabetes (insulin resistance), thyroid and other conditions.
Wart – scally growing fleshy bump, commonly growing on hands, feet and genitalia. More dangerous types can be in cervix (most common cause of cervical cancer, but easily treatable if caught early during screening). All warts caused by Papilloma virus.
Keratoacanthoma – firm, scaly core lump on sun exposed areas, which is rapidly-growing. Keratoacanthomas can look similar to the common skin cancer called squamous cell carcinomas, so they usually need to be removed to biopsy and making sure it’s safe.
Seborrhoeic keratosis – usually look scary, but they are benign, never turn into cancer. “like sultana on the skin”. Grey, black or brown raised lesions. They’re more common as you get older.
Pyogenic granuloma – these are small, bright red nodules that often develop after an injury. They tend to bleed easily, and it’s often recommended that they’re removed.
Sebaceous cysts – cyst under the skin, filled with fluid. As they can become infected, advised to removed, but they are benign in nature.
