 - Skin Growths & Lesions
 
Not every bump, spot, or lump on your skin is dangerous — but every change deserves attention.
At Biltmore Dermatology, we diagnose and treat a wide range of skin growths and lesions — from harmless moles to precancerous changes that need early action. Whether you're dealing with something new, something growing, or something that's been bothering you for years, we're here to help you understand your skin and your options.
Common Skin Growths and Lesions We Treat
Explore the conditions we treat with real care and clinical experience:
Moles
Moles are common — but changes in size, shape, color, or texture can sometimes be
                                        signs of concern.
                                        We offer expert evaluation, monitoring, and removal options when needed.

Warts
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can appear anywhere on the
                                        body.
                                        They can be stubborn, painful, or cosmetically distressing — but they are
                                        treatable.

Cysts
Skin cysts are non-cancerous, fluid- or semi-fluid-filled sacs that develop under
                                        the skin.
                                        While many are harmless, some can become inflamed, painful, or infected and
                                        require professional treatment.

Molluscum Contagiosum
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that causes small, raised,
                                        pearl-like bumps.
                                        It spreads easily, especially among children and athletes — but can be managed
                                        and treated with the right approach.

Actinic Keratosis
Rough, scaly patches on sun-exposed areas of skin could be actinic keratosis — a
                                        precancerous condition that needs early treatment to prevent progression to
                                        squamous cell carcinoma.

Sebaceous Hyperplasia
Sebaceous hyperplasia causes small, yellowish bumps — often on the face — due to
                                        overactive oil glands.
                                        They're harmless but can be confused with other conditions, and can be treated
                                        if desired for cosmetic or comfort reasons.
