Understanding Benign Skin Lesions
Benign skin lesions are non-cancerous growths that can appear anywhere on the body. Common examples include:
- Moles: Clusters of pigmented skin cells that may be flat, raised, smooth, or rough. Although often harmless, changes in size, shape, or colour should be evaluated.
- Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs under the skin that can sometimes become tender, inflamed, or infected if left untreated.
- Skin Tags: Small, soft growths typically found on the neck, underarms, or groin area; they may become irritated by friction or jewellery.
- Lipomas: Soft, fatty lumps that develop slowly under the skin; while generally painless, they may grow large enough to cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns.
Though they pose no immediate health threat, many patients seek their removal to enhance their skin’s appearance, prevent irritation, or simply gain peace of mind knowing their skin is healthy.
At Cheshire Cosmetic Surgery, Miss Anca Breahna ensures every lesion is thoroughly assessed. She uses her extensive expertise to distinguish benign lesions from those requiring further investigation, ensuring that patients receive the safest, most appropriate care based on individual needs.

Reasons to Consider Removal

- Aesthetic Confidence: Smooth, clear skin can enhance your natural beauty and boost your self-esteem. Removing visible lesions can allow you to wear clothing of your choice without self-consciousness.
- Physical Comfort: Eliminating lesions that rub against clothing, jewellery, or during physical activity can significantly improve day-to-day comfort. Reducing irritation can prevent further skin breakdown or infection.
- Peace of Mind: Addressing lesions that have changed in appearance or caused concern provides reassurance and emotional wellbeing. Early removal can also eliminate the need for constant monitoring or worry over a lesion’s behaviour.

FAQs About Removal of Benign Skin Lesions
Can a benign lesion change over time, and should I be concerned?
Yes, some benign lesions can change in appearance over the years. If you notice rapid growth, colour changes, or irregular borders, it’s essential to have them assessed promptly by a specialist like Miss Anca Breahna.
Will removing a benign lesion prevent it from coming back?
In most cases, complete excision of a benign lesion will prevent recurrence. However, certain types like cysts or lipomas may require precise removal of the capsule or root structure to minimise the chance of regrowth.
How does skin type affect scar healing after removal?
Skin type can influence healing and scarring. Patients with darker skin tones may experience a higher risk of pigmentation changes, while fairer skin may be prone to redness. Miss Anca Breahna tailors aftercare recommendations to suit individual skin characteristics.
Are there particular areas of the body where scar visibility is harder to minimise?
Certain areas like the chest, back, and shoulders can be more prone to noticeable scarring due to skin tension. Miss Breahna plans incisions carefully and provides detailed aftercare to optimise scar appearance in all body regions.
Can multiple benign lesions be removed in one procedure?
Yes, in many cases, multiple benign lesions can be addressed during a single appointment, provided it is safe and appropriate for the patient. This can reduce recovery time and offer a more convenient treatment experience.
How soon can I return to normal activities after skin lesion removal?
Most patients can resume light activities almost immediately. Strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and swimming may be restricted for a short period depending on the lesion size and location. Full guidance will be given at your consultation.
What makes surgical removal better than at-home treatments for benign lesions?
At-home methods, such as creams or “natural” remedies, can be ineffective and even dangerous. Surgical removal by a qualified surgeon like Miss Anca Breahna ensures complete, safe excision with careful attention to cosmetic outcomes and proper histological examination if needed.
