Skin Lesions

Skin Lesions are areas of abnormal growth on the skin, usually caused by infection, inflammation, or other medical condition. They can appear as a bump, spot, ulcer, mole, or discolored patch. Skin lesions can be divided into two categories: benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous). Early detection and proper treatment of these lesions is important as they can develop into life-threatening skin cancer if left untreated. Skin lesions are often diagnosed by visual inspection and biopsy. Treatment includes topical medications, surgery, and radiation therapy. Regular skin checks and self-examination to identify any changes or new skin lesions are important in preventing skin cancer.
