Benign Skin Lesions: Safe, Expert Removal in Hampshire
Noticing a new lump, mole, or patch on your skin can be worrying. The good news is that most skin lesions are benign (non-cancerous) and can be safely treated or removed for comfort, reassurance, or cosmetic reasons.
At Hampshire ENT clinics, our consultants offer expert assessment and removal of benign skin lesions for patients across Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, and Salisbury.
🩺 What Are Benign Skin Lesions?
Benign skin lesions are harmless growths that arise from the skin or underlying tissue. They can appear anywhere on the face, scalp, or neck. Common examples include:
Sebaceous cysts – smooth, round lumps under the skin, often on the scalp or behind the ears
Lipomas – soft fatty lumps under the skin
Skin tags – small, soft growths on the neck, eyelids, or underarms
Seborrhoeic keratoses – “warty” brown or crusty patches common with age
Moles and pigmented lesions – most are harmless but should always be checked if changing
While benign, these lesions can be uncomfortable, prone to infection, or cosmetically bothersome, particularly when visible on the face or neck.
🔍 Assessment and Diagnosis
Every lesion is assessed by a consultant ENT or facial plastic surgeon to confirm that it is benign. If there’s any uncertainty, we may arrange:
Ultrasound or imaging (if deeper)
Histological testing (biopsy) after removal
Your safety and peace of mind always come first.
