Expert Lump & Bump Assessment
Cysts, lipomas and other benign lumps
Many lumps beneath the skin are harmless, but patients often want reassurance, diagnosis or removal because of discomfort, growth or cosmetic concerns.
Dr Andrew Welch will assess the lump, discuss treatment options and, where appropriate, arrange minor surgery under local anaesthetic.
Removed tissue can be sent for histology as part of routine good practice.
FAQs
What's the difference between a cyst and a lipoma?
A cyst is a sac beneath the skin, while a lipoma is a benign growth of fatty tissue.
Should all lumps be removed?
Not necessarily. Assessment will determine whether removal is appropriate.
Will the lump be sent for testing?
Histology is routinely used where clinically appropriate.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover quickly, although stitches may require removal after 7-14 days.
