Skin Lumps and Bumps Treatments

Many of us have lumps or bumps on or under our skin. Not all lumps require removal or treatment, but they do require assessment. You should never just leave a skin bump or lump in the hope that it will go away on its own. The old adage is very true here – it is better to be safe than sorry.

Contact a specialist to discuss you skin bumps and lumps now.

Types of Skin Bumps and Lumps

Cysts, ganglions and warts are generally removed when they are causing symptoms and treatment will be covered by medical insurance if there is a medical indication. Skin tags, simple moles and blemishes are less likely to be covered by medical insurance, but are frequently removed for aesthetic reasons.

Skin lumps that need special attention include breast lumps, melanoma and hernias. Lump removal of this nature will need the specialist care available at the Cadogan Clinic.

Skin Bumps and Lumps Checklist

To provide you with some guidance when assessing a skin lump or bump, we have produced a brief checklist. The following symptoms generally indicate that lump removal may be necessary:

• Does it hurt or cause pain when touched?
• Has it changed in shape, size or colour?
• Is it a new lump or collection of skin lumps?

If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions then it is important to book a consultation with one of our specialists to assess your skin bumps or lumps. Our consultants specialising in lump removal will assess the situation and give you advice on the best possible course of action.
