Skin tags, moles and other benign skin lesions are extremely common and often become more noticeable with age. While many are harmless, some may become irritated, catch on clothing, bleed, affect confidence or require assessment to exclude more serious conditions.
At Dermal Plus Clinic in Peterborough, we provide comprehensive skin lesion assessments and offer removal of appropriate benign skin lesions using safe, effective treatment methods. Every lesion is carefully examined before treatment to ensure the most appropriate management.
What Are Benign Skin Lesions?
Benign skin lesions are non-cancerous growths that develop on the skin. They are common and usually harmless but may increase in size, become irritated or cause cosmetic concerns.
Examples include:
- Skin tags
- Seborrhoeic keratoses
- Cherry angiomas
- Dermatofibromas
- Sebaceous hyperplasia
- Benign moles
Some lesions may resemble skin cancer, making professional assessment important before removal.

Skin Tags
Skin tags are soft, harmless growths that commonly develop in areas where the skin rubs together.
They are frequently found on the:
- Neck
- Armpits
- Eyelids
- Groin
- Under the breasts
Although harmless, skin tags may become irritated by jewellery or clothing and many people choose to have them removed.Symptoms vary between individuals and often fluctuate over time.
Moles
Moles are common collections of pigment-producing cells that can appear anywhere on the body.
Most moles are completely harmless, but some may change over time.
If you notice a mole changing in size, shape, colour, bleeding or itching, it should always be assessed promptly.
Seborrhoeic Keratoses
Seborrhoeic keratoses are very common benign growths that often appear with increasing age.
They may look brown, black or flesh coloured and often have a waxy or “stuck-on” appearance.
Although harmless, they can become irritated or cosmetically bothersome.
Cherry Angiomas
Cherry angiomas are small, bright red growths caused by tiny blood vessels.
They commonly develop with age and are completely benign.
Some patients choose removal because they bleed easily or for cosmetic reasons.
