What are Skin Lumps (Moles, Skin Tags, Cysts, Lipomas)?

​

Skin lumps and bumps are skin abnormalities that occur on the surface of their skin or inside the skin layers. These may be classified as skin tags, skin warts or skin moles and can be easily removed by one of our surgeons.

Skin lumps are primarily benign blemishes that are removed for aesthetic reasons. That said, occasionally these lumps and bumps can prove to be a sign of something more dangerous on deeper investigation, and worthy of deeper professional attention.
