About this treatment

A consultation for lumps, bumps, and skin lesions at Prema Health Clinic in Portsmouth provides patients with a careful and reassuring assessment of changes or growths on the skin. These concerns are very common and can range from long-standing, harmless marks to newer changes that patients may have recently noticed. The consultation begins with a detailed discussion about when the lesion first appeared, whether it has changed in size, colour, or texture, and whether it causes symptoms such as discomfort, irritation, or bleeding.

The clinician takes time to explain findings clearly and calmly, helping patients understand the nature of their skin concern. Many people attend for reassurance, while others seek clarity on whether treatment, monitoring, or further investigation may be appropriate. The focus is always on accurate assessment and open communication, ensuring patients feel listened to and supported throughout the appointment.

At the end of the consultation, a personalised plan is discussed. This may include advice on monitoring changes, management options, or guidance on next steps where required. The aim is to provide clarity, confidence, and peace of mind regarding skin health.

In More Detail

During the consultation, a wide range of skin changes can be examined. This includes new or long-standing lumps, raised or rough areas, soft or firm bumps, and lesions that have altered in appearance over time. Attention is given to changes in colour, shape, surface texture, or size, as well as symptoms such as tenderness, itching, or repeated trauma. Areas of concern may be assessed individually or as part of a full skin review if appropriate. Patients are also advised on which changes should be monitored in the future and when to seek further review, supporting early identification of any issues and informed decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are most lumps and bumps on the skin harmless?

Many skin lumps and lesions are benign and do not pose a health risk. However, assessment is important to confirm this and to identify any changes that may need closer attention.

2. When should I seek a consultation for a skin lesion?

You should consider a consultation if a lump or lesion is new, changing, growing, bleeding, painful, or causing concern, or if you would like reassurance about a long-standing mark.

3. Do I need a referral to book an appointment?

No referral is required. You can book directly with Prema Health Clinic for a specialist assessment of lumps, bumps, and lesions.

4. What happens after the assessment?

Following the consultation, the clinician will explain the findings and discuss appropriate next steps, which may include reassurance, monitoring, treatment options, or further investigation if needed.

About

Conditions Treated

Lumps, bumps, and lesions assessed at Prema Health Clinic include a wide range of common skin growths and changes. These may involve benign lesions such as seborrhoeic keratoses, cherry angiomas, cysts, lipomas, skin tags, milia, and viral-related growths such as warts and verrucae. Changes in existing lesions or the appearance of new growths are carefully evaluated to determine their nature. Where there is concern, assessment focuses on identifying features that may require monitoring or further investigation. This thorough approach ensures both reassurance for benign conditions and timely guidance when closer follow-up is appropriate.
