What are Skin Lesions?
Skin lesions are abnormalities in the skin’s texture or color that can arise for various reasons, including genetics, infection, allergies, or more serious underlying health conditions like cancer. They may be present from birth (congenital) or develop over time. While many skin lesions are harmless, some can lead to discomfort or may signal more serious health issues.
At Kkaro Clinic, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for the following common types of skin lesions:
- Moles – Small dark growths that can be flat or raised, typically harmless but sometimes require removal for cosmetic reasons or health concerns.
- Warts – Benign growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), commonly found on hands, feet, or other areas.
- Cysts – Fluid-filled sacs beneath the skin that can become infected or uncomfortable.
- Actinic Keratosis – Rough patches of skin caused by sun exposure, potentially leading to skin cancer if untreated.
- Lipomas – Benign tumors made up of fat tissue, usually soft to the touch.

Nodules are larger, deeper lumps under the skin, typically caused by infections, cysts, or inflammatory conditions. They can become painful and may need treatment.Vesicles
Vesicles are small fluid-filled sacs on the skin, commonly seen in conditions like chickenpox or herpes. They often cause itching or discomfort.Plaques
Plaques are thickened, elevated patches of skin. Conditions like psoriasis can cause plaques that may be scaly or red.Pustules
Pustules are pus-filled lesions that appear as white or yellow bumps, often resulting from bacterial infections or acne.Cysts
Cysts are closed sacs filled with fluid or semi-solid material. They can develop anywhere on the skin and may require drainage or surgical removal.Ulcers
Ulcers are open sores that develop when the skin breaks down. They may occur due to poor circulation, infections, or pressure sores, requiring prompt medical treatment.Wheals (Hives)
Wheals are red, swollen bumps caused by allergic reactions, insect bites, or irritants. They typically itch and may disappear within hours or days.Lichenification

- Viral infections: Conditions such as warts are caused by viral infections, particularly HPV.
- Allergies: Allergic reactions to substances like plants or chemicals can result in rashes or other types of lesions.
- Genetics: Some skin lesions, such as moles, may be inherited from family members.
- Injury or irritation: Repeated friction or injuries can lead to certain lesions, like corns or calluses.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Skin Lesions at Kkaro Clinic
At Kkaro Clinic, our approach to diagnosing and treating skin lesions is thorough and patient-centered. When you visit us for skin lesion concerns, our dermatologists will begin by conducting a detailed examination to determine the nature of the lesion.
Diagnostic Process:
- Visual Examination: The initial assessment includes a detailed examination of the lesion’s size, shape, color, and texture.
- Dermatoscopy: This non-invasive procedure allows dermatologists to inspect the skin lesion under magnification, providing better clarity for diagnosis.
- Biopsy: In cases where there is concern about potential malignancy, a biopsy may be conducted to analyze a small portion of the lesion in a lab.
Treatment Options:
- Cryotherapy: For benign lesions like warts, cryotherapy involves freezing the lesion using liquid nitrogen, which gradually causes it to fall off.
- Surgical Excision: For larger or potentially harmful lesions, surgical removal may be necessary. This can be done with minimal scarring using advanced techniques.
- Laser Therapy: Laser treatments can be used to remove certain types of lesions, such as moles or warts, by targeting the pigment or tissue without damaging surrounding skin.
- Topical Medications: For some conditions, prescription creams or gels can help reduce the appearance of lesions or treat underlying causes such as viral infections.

However, choosing a skilled surgeon and following all post-operative instructions can significantly reduce these risks. At Kkaro Clinic, we prioritize patient safety and satisfaction, ensuring that every precaution is taken to deliver the best possible outcome.
