Not every bump, spot, or growth on your skin is something to worry about. In fact, many common skin lesions are completely benign. However, they can still affect your confidence, become irritated by clothing, or simply make your skin look uneven.
At Lenox Skincare, we specialize in the cosmetic removal of common benign skin lesions for clients of every skin tone—including melanin-rich skin, where proper technique is especially important. Whether you're dealing with waxy growths, stubborn white bumps, skin tags, or age spots, our team provides personalized treatment with expert aftercare to help your skin heal beautifully.
Here's a closer look at four of the most common lesions we treat.
Seborrheic Keratosis (SK)
Seborrheic Keratosis, often called SK, is one of the most common non-cancerous skin growths.
These lesions usually appear as:
- Brown, black, or tan growths
- Waxy or rough texture
- "Stuck-on" appearance
- Raised surface
- Round or oval shape
They commonly develop on the:
- Face
- Chest
- Back
- Neck
- Shoulders
Although harmless, many people choose to remove them because they become irritated, catch on clothing, or simply affect the appearance of the skin.
At Lenox Skincare, we remove seborrheic keratoses using techniques selected specifically for your skin type while minimizing trauma to the surrounding skin.
Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft pieces of skin that commonly develop where skin rubs together.
You'll often find them on the:
- Neck
- Underarms
- Eyelids
- Chest
- Groin area
They are completely harmless but can become irritated from jewelry, shaving, or clothing.
Professional removal is quick, safe, and much more effective than attempting to remove them yourself at home.
Milia
Milia are tiny white bumps that form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin.
They're most commonly found around the:
- Eyes
- Cheeks
- Nose
- Forehead
Unlike acne, milia cannot simply be squeezed out.
Trying to remove them at home often causes unnecessary damage and can lead to scarring or infection.
Professional extraction allows these bumps to be removed safely while protecting the surrounding skin.
Liver Spots (Age Spots or Sun Spots)
Liver spots—also called age spots or sun spots—are flat brown patches caused by years of sun exposure.
They typically appear on areas that receive the most sunlight, including:
- Face
- Hands
- Chest
- Shoulders
- Arms
Although harmless, many people choose treatment to restore a brighter, more even complexion.
Depending on your skin type and the depth of pigmentation, treatment may involve cosmetic lesion removal or other brightening procedures recommended during your consultation.
Why Proper Diagnosis Matters
While these conditions are generally benign, it's important to remember that not every skin lesion is harmless.
At Lenox Skincare, we perform cosmetic removal of benign lesions only.
If we notice a spot that appears unusual, changes rapidly, bleeds, or raises concern, we'll recommend evaluation by a physician or dermatologist before cosmetic treatment.
Your health always comes first.
Why You Should Never Remove Them Yourself
Online videos may make DIY removal look easy, but attempting to cut, burn, freeze, or scrape skin lesions at home can cause serious complications.
These include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Permanent scarring
- Delayed healing
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
For people with melanin-rich skin, the risk of developing long-lasting dark marks after improper treatment is even greater.
Professional care helps minimize these risks while producing smoother cosmetic results.
Why Skin Tone Matters
Melanin-rich skin responds differently to heat and injury than lighter skin tones.
Without proper technique, even a small cosmetic procedure can trigger unwanted pigmentation changes that last longer than the original lesion.
At Lenox Skincare, every treatment is customized to your skin type, lesion type, and healing response.
Our expertise in treating multicultural skin allows us to protect your natural skin tone while delivering excellent cosmetic outcomes.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your visit begins with a personalized consultation.
We'll examine the lesion, confirm it's appropriate for cosmetic removal, and explain the best treatment option for your skin.
After treatment, you'll receive detailed aftercare instructions designed to support healthy healing and minimize pigmentation changes.
For many clients, we also schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure everything is healing as expected.
Will These Lesions Come Back?
The lesions we remove generally do not return.
However, some people naturally develop new seborrheic keratoses, skin tags, or milia over time due to genetics, aging, or skin changes.
If new lesions appear, they can be safely treated during future visits.
