Medical Dermatology - Simple Solutions for the Bumps, Lumps & Spots That Bother You
Growths, Cysts & Benign Lesions
Not every skin bump is a medical emergency — but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored. Many growths, cysts, and lesions are non-cancerous, but they can still be irritating, painful, or cosmetically concerning.
At On the Spot Dermatology, we specialize in identifying and treating benign skin growths using safe, effective methods that are typically performed right in our office. Whether you want something removed for comfort or peace of mind, we’re here to help — no long wait required.
When to Seek Treatment
- A bump or spot is growing or changing
- It’s rubbing against clothing or causing irritation
- It’s cosmetically distracting or affecting your confidence
- You’re unsure what it is or want a diagnosis
- It’s draining, inflamed, or painful
How We Can Help
We evaluate growths quickly and accurately, and offer:
- Same-day diagnosis and treatment when appropriate
- In-office procedures like cryotherapy, electrocautery, or excision
- Biopsies when a lesion needs further evaluation
- Scar-minimizing techniques for aesthetic concerns
- Clear communication and support throughout your care
Growths, Cysts & Benign Lesions We Treat
We diagnose and treat a wide range of skin conditions, including:
Seborrheic Keratosis
A common, harmless skin growth that appears as a raised, waxy, or wart-like patch. Often brown or tan, it may look stuck onto the skin. Though non-cancerous, it can be removed for cosmetic reasons or if it becomes irritated or inflamed.
Skin Tags
Small, soft, flesh-colored growths that often develop in skin folds (neck, underarms, groin). Completely benign but can become bothersome if they snag on clothing or jewelry. Removal is quick and easy, often done during your appointment.
Sebaceous Hyperplasia
Enlarged oil glands that appear as small, yellowish bumps, typically on the forehead or cheeks. They are harmless but may resemble basal cell carcinoma. Treated with cautery or laser techniques for a smoother appearance.
Milia
Tiny, white or pearly bumps commonly found on the cheeks, eyelids, or forehead. Caused by trapped keratin beneath the skin, they are harmless but can be gently extracted in-office for cosmetic improvement.
Cysts
Fluid-filled sacs beneath the skin that may appear as firm, round lumps. While usually harmless, they can become inflamed or infected. Treatment options include drainage or complete excision if recurring.
Lipomas
Soft, movable fatty lumps that develop beneath the skin, typically on the back, shoulders, or thighs. Non-cancerous and painless, though larger lipomas may cause discomfort or cosmetic concern. Surgical removal is available for relief.
Other Benign Lesions
We evaluate and manage a wide range of non-cancerous skin spots and bumps. Whether it’s a raised lesion, pigmented spot, or unexplained bump, we’ll help you understand what it is and whether treatment is necessary.
Lesion Evaluations & Biopsies
If there’s any uncertainty about a skin growth’s nature, we’ll perform a biopsy to rule out anything concerning. Our team prioritizes clear communication so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
