This directory is based on doctors currently listed in GAF Healthcare's registry. Clinical suitability varies by patient; a doctor should review your history and investigations before any treatment decision.
Skin lesions are abnormal changes in the color, texture, or structure of the skin that may range from benign growths — such as cysts, warts, or seborrhoeic keratoses — to potentially serious conditions including melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or basal cell carcinoma. When a lesion has features that raise clinical concern, a biopsy is recommended to obtain a tissue sample for laboratory analysis, as visual examination alone cannot reliably distinguish benign from malignant changes. Risk factors include prolonged ultraviolet exposure, fair skin, a personal or family history of skin cancer, immunosuppression, and certain inherited conditions such as dysplastic naevus syndrome. Early and accurate assessment is important because some malignant lesions can spread to surrounding tissue or distant sites if not identified and managed promptly.
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.
