A wide range of common benign skin lesions can be treated at Tara Skin Clinic, offering precise advanced blemish removal in Newmarket based on their structure, depth, and cause.
Common Skin Growths
These are non-infectious, benign growths often linked to ageing, genetics or skin type.
- Skin Tags
Skin tags are soft, flesh-coloured growths that often develop in areas of friction, such as the neck, underarms, or body folds. They are harmless but may become irritated or increase in number over time. They can be quickly and safely removed using diathermy. - Seborrhoeic Keratosis
These are benign, raised lesions with a waxy appearance. Their colour ranges from light brown to dark, and they are commonly associated with ageing. They can be safely removed to improve skin texture and appearance. - Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)
DPN appears as small, dark, raised lesions, most commonly on darker skin tones. It is a benign condition but often a cosmetic concern. Treatment requires a careful, low-trauma approach to minimise the risk of pigmentation. - Sebaceous Hyperplasia
Enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands appear as small yellowish bumps, often with a central indentation. These are often mistaken for acne but require a different treatment approach. - Mole Reduction
Raised benign moles can be reduced to skin level for a smoother appearance, for cosmetic reasons, after careful assessment. Note: All moles require a GP’s confirmation that they are benign before cosmetic reduction. - Vascular Lesions (Red Blemishes)
These are lesions related to blood vessels and circulation within the skin. - Telangiectasia (Thread Veins)
These are small, visible blood vessels that appear as fine red lines, most commonly around the nose and cheeks. They are often associated with rosacea, sun damage, or genetics, and can be effectively treated using advanced electrolysis. - Cherry Angiomas
Cherry angiomas are small, bright red or purple vascular lesions formed by clusters of blood vessels. They tend to increase with age and can be treated effectively with short-wave diathermy. - Spider Veins
Small superficial red veins that resemble a spider, commonly found on the face or legs. They can develop due to genetics, trauma, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions. - Red & Blue Leg Veins
Superficial veins that appear red, purple or blue, commonly on the legs. They can develop due to genetics, hormonal changes or prolonged standing. - Pigmented Lesions & Sun Damage
These are commonly associated with UV exposure, ageing, and pigmentation changes. - Other Age Spots (Sun Spots)
Age spots are flat, pigmented lesions caused by prolonged sun exposure. They commonly appear on the face, hands, and chest, and can be effectively treated to restore a more even skin tone. - Viral Lesions
These are caused by viral infections and may spread if not treated appropriately. - Common Warts
Common warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and appear as rough, raised lesions, usually on the hands or fingers. Treatment aims to destroy the infected tissue and stimulate the body’s immune response. - Plane Warts
Plane warts are flatter and smoother than common warts and often appear in clusters, particularly on the face or hands. They spread easily and are treated carefully to avoid irritation or scarring. - Filiform Warts
These are long, narrow warts that often appear around the eyes, lips, or neck. Because of their shape and location, they require precise removal techniques to protect the surrounding skin. - Verrucae
Verrucae are warts that develop on the soles of the feet. They may be painful due to pressure when walking and often require a combination of treatments to remove the lesion effectively and reduce recurrence. - Eye Area & Subdermal Lesions
These require a particularly delicate and precise approach due to the sensitivity of the area. - Milia
Small, white keratin-filled cysts are commonly found around the eyes and cheeks. They do not resolve on their own and require professional removal. - Syringoma
Syringomas are small, flesh-coloured or yellowish bumps caused by the overgrowth of sweat glands, typically found around the eyes. They can be persistent and require precise treatment to reduce their appearance. - Xanthelasma
Xanthelasma are soft, yellowish plaques typically found around the eyelids. They result from cholesterol deposits beneath the skin and require careful removal, depending on their size and depth. - Sebaceous Cysts
Sebaceous cysts are large, benign lumps beneath the skin filled with sebum. They can become inflamed or infected and may require careful treatment or referral, depending on their size and condition.
