Skin lesions are any size of your skin that’s strange from the skin around it. Skin lesions are expected and are often the result of an injury or harm to your skin. However, some have the potential to be cancerous.
A skin lesion is a piece of the skin with an abnormal growth or appearance compared to the surrounding skin.
There are two categories of skin lesions:
| Type | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Skin Lesions | Irregular skin conditions present at birth or formulated over a person’s lifetime | Moles, birthmarks, freckles |
| Secondary Skin Lesions | Result from irritated or manipulated primary skin lesions | Crusts, scars, ulcers |
For example, suppose someone scratches a mole until it bleeds. In that case, the resulting lesion, a crust, is now a secondary skin lesion.
Understanding your type of skin lesion is the first step toward effective treatment.
| Type | Description | Concern Level |
|---|---|---|
| Benign Lesions | Non-cancerous growths (moles, warts, skin tags) | Low — cosmetic or minor removal |
| Precancerous Lesions | Abnormal cells that may become cancerous (actinic keratosis) | Moderate — requires monitoring and treatment |
| Cancerous Lesions | Malignant growths (basal cell carcinoma, melanoma) | High — requires immediate medical attention |
Dr. Asma will examine your lesion and determine whether it needs monitoring, treatment, or biopsy.
Since there are a wide multiplicity of skin lesions that exist, there are many potential causes, including:
| Cause | Examples |
|---|---|
| Present at Birth | Moles, birthmarks |
| Viral Infections | HIV, HPV |
| Bacterial Infections | Herpes, staphylococcus |
| Allergic Reactions | Bug bites, poison ivy |
| Medication Side Effects | Chemotherapy |
| Injury | Sunburn, wound |
| Underlying Medical Disease | Poor circulation, autoimmune disease, cancer, liver or kidney disease |
Symptoms of your skin lesion could vary depending on your lesion type. General symptoms include:

Visit your dermatologist immediately.
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.
| Treatment | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Topical Medications | Support and treat the rash, provide mild symptom relief | Minor lesions, itching, burning |
| Oral Medications | Treat systemic causes like shingles or chickenpox | Viral or systemic conditions |
| Surgical Removal | Remove suspicious moles or infected lesions | Suspicious growths, skin cancer |
| Laser Treatment | Clear birthmarks (hemangioma) and other lesions | Vascular lesions, pigmented growths |
| Cryotherapy | Freeze and remove benign growths | Warts, skin tags, actinic keratosis |
| Home Care | Oatmeal baths, absorptive powders, protective balms | Itchy or irritated 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.
The cost of skin lesion treatment depends on the type, size, location, and treatment method required.
| Service | Price |

| Cryotherapy (per lesion) | Starting from ₹1,000 |
| Laser Removal (per lesion) | Starting from ₹2,500 |

A skin lesion is an area of skin with an abnormal growth or appearance compared to the surrounding skin. It can be benign, precancerous, or cancerous and may be present at birth or develop over time.
No. Most skin lesions are benign (non-cancerous). However, some can be precancerous or cancerous. A dermatologist can examine your lesion to determine whether it needs monitoring or treatment.
You should see a dermatologist if a lesion is growing in size, changing shape or colour, bleeding, itching, painful, or not healing. Early evaluation is key for suspicious lesions.
Dr. Asma examines the lesion visually and may use dermoscopy for a closer look. In some cases, a biopsy (tissue sample) may be recommended to confirm whether the lesion is benign or cancerous.
Depending on the type and location, removal may involve cryotherapy (freezing), laser therapy, or surgical excision. Dr. Asma will recommend the most appropriate method after diagnosis.

Scarring depends on the removal method, lesion size, and your skin’s healing ability. Dr. Asma uses techniques that minimise scarring, and provides aftercare guidance to optimise healing.
Not all lesions can be prevented, but you can reduce your risk by protecting your skin from sun exposure, avoiding tanning beds, checking your skin regularly, and managing underlying health conditions.
Don’t ignore a changing mole or suspicious growth. Book your consultation with Dr. Asma and experience personalised care with advanced diagnostic technology.
