At Renu we believe that understanding your skin is just as important as treating it. This page is designed to help you learn more about the different types of benign skin lesions and growths we commonly see in clinic, including how they develop, what they look like, and the treatment options available.
Cherry angioma’s are common benign skin growths made up of small blood vessels. Bright red, but can also appear purple or blue over time.
Skin tags are small, soft, benign skin growths that hang off the skin’s surface. Soft and mobile – moves easily when touched. Attached to the skin by a thin base (pedunculated)
Seborrhoeic keratoses. Often found on the scalp and body of sun exposed areas, they feel waxy and have a stuck on appearance
Milia are small, hard, white cysts that sit just under the surface of the skin. They’re caused by trapped keratin and appear around the eyes, cheeks, forehead, or nose.
Fibrous papule’s are firm, dome shaped and typically skin-coloured, pink, or light tan. Most commonly found on the tip or side of the nose, but can appear elsewhere on the face
A benign mole that develops when pigment cells grow deeper within the skin’s dermis. Usually flesh-coloured, light brown, or pink.
Flat mole, sitting at the junction between the epidermis and dermis. Brown or black, with a smooth, well-defined border.
Compound Nevus are slightly raised, with pigment cells located in both the epidermis and dermis.May be darker in the centre, lighter toward the edges.
Sebaceous gland hyperplasia are common, benign conditions of sebaceous glands in adults of middle age or older.
Fordyce spots are sebaceous glands that are visible on the surface of the skin. They appear as tiny bumps are most commonly found on the lips or genital area.
A cutaneous horn a hard, cone-shaped growth made of compact keratin, the same protein found in hair and nails. Most commonly develop on sun-exposed areas.
Telangiectases, often called thread veins, spider veins, or broken capillaries, are small dilated blood vessels that become visible just beneath the surface of the skin.
A venous lake is a common, harmless blood vessel lesion that appears as a soft, blue, dark purple, or red bump on the skin. It is caused by a small vein becoming enlarged and dilated close to the surface of the skin.

Years of Experience
At Renu we use thermocoagulation to treat cherry angiomas. This involves using a very fine probe to deliver a controlled heat energy directly into the tiny blood vessels that make up the angioma.
The heat seals the blood vessels, causing the cherry angioma to shrink, darken, crust, and gradually fade as the skin heals.
Treatment is usually quick, with minimal discomfort and little downtime. The area may look slightly red or scabbed afterwards, but this usually settles over the following days to weeks.

At Renu we remove skin tags using the most suitable method for the size, location and number of lesions. Options include radiowave surgery, ThermaVein thermocoagulation, and cryosurgery. Smaller skin tags may be treated with Thermavein® or cryotherapy, while larger or raised skin tags may be removed using radiowave surgery for a more precise result.

At Renu treatment depends on the size and thickness of the lesion. Smaller seborrhoeic keratoses can often be treated effectively with cryosurgerywhich freezes the lesion causing it to gradually dry up and fall away. Larger or thicker lesions are usually best treated with radiowave surgery, allowing precise removal with excellent results and minimal damage to the surrounding skin.

At Renu, milia are treated using ThermaVein® thermocoagulation. A very fine probe is used to deliver a controlled burst of heat to the milia, allowing the tiny cyst to be released with minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Treatment is quick, precise, and suitable for delicate areas such as around the eyes, with little downtime.

At Renu, sebaceous hyperplasia can be treated using ThermaVein® thermocoagulation or radiowave surgery, depending on the size and depth of the lesion. Smaller lesions often respond well to ThermaVein, while larger or more prominent lesions may be better suited to radiowave surgery for precise removal.

At Renu, keratosis pilaris is treated using prescription skincare tailored to your individual skin needs. Treatment may include creams containing ingredients such as urea, lactic acid, salicylic acid, retinoids, or other active ingredients designed to gently exfoliate the skin, reduce roughness, and improve the appearance of bumps and redness. With regular use and a personalised treatment plan, many patients notice smoother, softer skin and a significant improvement in texture over time.
At Renu, molluscum contagiosum is commonly treated using cryotherapy (cryosurgery). This involves applying a controlled freeze to the lesions using liquid nitrogen, which destroys the infected skin cells and stimulates the body’s natural healing process.
