Benign Skin Conditions

Benign Skin Conditions We Treat at Palm Beach Dermatology Group

Benign skin lesions are overgrowths of skin cells that can appear at any age. It is important to first have these spots examined to confirm that they are non-cancerous. Other benign spots on the skin should be monitored over time for changes, as some have a higher risk than others of changing into a cancerous growth. Some other benign lesions can become inflamed or bothersome and may need treatment.

Palm Beach Dermatology Group offers solutions for the following conditions:

• Warts: These small growths can spread through contact. Warts may have a rough texture and appear as small black dots on the surface of your skin.
• Hyperhidrosis: This condition comes with excessive sweating that may lead to decreased enjoyment of daily activities.
• Skin tags: While common and non-cancerous, the appearance of these small growths can sometimes present hygienic problems and can also become inflamed or irritated.
• Cysts: Irritation, injury, or damaged hair follicles often cause skin cysts. Cysts can lead to complications such as infection, rupture, swelling, and skin cancer.
