A benign skin lesion is a non-cancerous skin lesion. There is a huge amount of dermatologic conditions which are easily misdiagnosed, it is essential to ensure any lesions are properly checked by an experienced medical practitioner, preferably a dermatologist. The accurate diagnosis of any skin lesions can be made by histologic examination of a skin biopsy. However, clinicians must gain the clinical acumen to correctly identify common benign skin lesions and to distinguish those skin conditions that do need a biopsy and possible further treatment. If the clinician is in doubt of the category of the lesion a biopsy could be taken for a conclusive diagnosis.
The majority of skin lesions are benign, but when a new lesion or mark appears on our skin it can be difficult to tell what’s benign from what’s malignant. If you have any suspicions about a mark, mole or lesion, you should get it checked out by a doctor immediately. However, it’s good to be aware of the most common benign skin lesions so you can feel more secure and in control of your health when something arises. Dermatosis paulosa nigra is a condition that occurs mainly in darker skin types and usually starts to form in adolescence. The lesions are small, darkly pigmented papules that are harmless and generally don’t require treatment.

Dermatofibroma is a benign skin tumor that appears as a firm, round, brownish to red-purple growth usually found on the legs. Common characteristics:
Solar lentigos, also known as “sun spots” or “age spots,” are marks on the skin from sun damage that are not cancerous. Although no treatment is required, patients are often at an increased risk for skin cancer and need to exercise precaution. Sebaceous hyperplasia is a skin condition that occurs when the sebaceous gland on the skin are enlarged.
Common characteristics:
An epidermal inclusion cyst is a common skin cyst sometimes called a “sebaceous cyst,” even though they arise from hair follicles, not oil glands. The cysts contain a foul-smelling, cheese-like substance formed from degenerating keratinocytes. They can become red and aggravated if the substance enters the dermis, an occurrence that is often mistaken for an infection. Asymptomatic cysts don’t require treatment. Excision can be used to remove a cyst, if desired. Milia or tiny epidermoid cysts is a condition where small 1-2 mm white to yellow papules occur underneath the surface of the skin.
Common characteristics:
Sun exposure, pigmented skin.

About treatment
Fractional laser therapy is a breakthrough therapy for facial rejuvenation. Cosmetic imperfections appear on our skin in the form of wrinkles, scars, brown spots, and red spots.
Fractional lasers employ a unique technology in which a laser makes small microscopic holes in the skin. This is in contrast to older techniques of complete resurfacing, in which the entire skin surface is removed using a laser or chemical peel, resulting in significant downtime and discomfort.
With fractional resurfacing, only a small percentage of the skin (15-40%) is actually treated, allowing for rapid recovery. Fractional laser therapy is an effective, low-downtime procedure which results in smoother, more even toned, youthful skin. The SmartXide DOT technology allows Dr. Walter to provide a superficial treatment or a deeper treatment to accommodate each patient’s needs and lifestyles.
Fractional carbon dioxide lasers can also be very effective for the treatment of surgical, burn, or acne scarring. By placing microscopic holes in the skin, fractional lasers stimulate collagen remodeling and improve the appearance of scars. Treatment can also soften firm or contracted scars.
