Lesions in Children

A lesion is a change in the skin, such as a mole, cyst, bump, or sore that may require a medical evaluation to determine its cause and whether treatment is needed.

Moles are common in children and are usually harmless, but it’s important to watch for any changes in size, shape, or colour, as these could be signs of something more serious. If you’re worried about a mole or notice any new growths on your child’s skin, it’s essential to get it checked by a specialist.

Cysts are fluid-filled lumps that can develop under the skin and may require treatment if they become painful, swollen, or infected. While most cysts are benign, seeing a paediatric dermatologist can help ensure proper care and provide peace of mind.

If you’re looking for advice on moles or cysts in your child, a consultation with an expert will help you understand the next steps and whether any treatment is needed.
