Symptoms of Skin Lesions

Symptoms of your skin lesion could vary depending on your lesion type. General symptoms include:

If you notice your skin lesion is growing in size or shape, is causing you intense pain, is bleeding or leaking pus or won't recover as you expected — or if you have other associated signs like fever, joint pain, swelling or anything concerning to you — visit your dermatologist immediately.

Treatment

Treatment is based on the underlying cause or causes of the skin lesions. A doctor will consider the type of lesion, your personal health history, and any previously attempted treatments.

Medications

First-line treatments are usually topical medications to support and treat the rash and cover the affected area. Topical medication can also provide mild sign relief to control pain, itching, or burning pushed by the skin lesion.

If your skin lesions result from a systemic illness, such as shingles or chickenpox, you may be specified oral medicines to help ease the symptoms, including skin lesions.

Surgery

Infected skin lesions are typically pierced and drained to provide treatment and relief.

Suspicious-looking moles that have changed over time may need surgery.

A type of birthmark called hemangioma results from distorted blood vessels. Laser treatment is often used to clear this type of birthmark.

Home care

Some skin lesions are extremely itchy and irritated. You may want to try home treatments for relief.

Oatmeal baths or lotions can relieve itching or burning caused by certain skin lesions.

If chafing is causing contact dermatitis in areas where the skin chafes against itself or a portion of clothing, absorptive powders or protective balms can decrease friction and prevent further skin lesions from developing.
