Benign skin lesions

Benign skin lesions are non-cancerous growths or changes on the skin that commonly occur due to genetics, aging, or environmental factors. Examples include moles, skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, and benign cysts. They typically do not cause symptoms or health problems and are not life-threatening. Most benign lesions are stable over time, though some may grow or change gradually. While they usually don’t require treatment, it’s important to have new or changing skin lesions evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out malignancy or other issues.
