Benign Skin Lesion Removal

Benign Skin Lesion Removal

Benign skin lesions, such as moles, cysts, or skin tags, are common and usually harmless, but they can sometimes cause discomfort, irritation, or concern due to their appearance or location. At O’Neill Plastic Surgery, we offer safe and effective removal of benign skin lesions with minimal scarring and a focus on your comfort and cosmetic outcome.

What Are Benign Skin Lesions?

Benign skin lesions are non-cancerous growths that may appear on the skin’s surface or underneath. While they typically don’t pose a health risk, they can grow, become irritated by clothing or shaving, or cause self-consciousness depending on their visibility. Common types of benign lesions include:

• Moles 
• Sebaceous cysts
• Warts
• Lipomas (fatty lumps under the skin)
• Skin tags
• Keratoses (rough or scaly patches)

Evaluating any new or changing skin lesion is always a good idea to ensure it’s not cancerous. Our experienced team will assess the lesion and determine if removal is appropriate.

Though many benign lesions are medically unnecessary to remove, patients often choose removal for aesthetic reasons or to prevent irritation, bleeding, or infection. Removal is typically quick, performed in-office under local anesthesia, and requires little to no downtime.
