Lumps & Bumps Surgery

What are Lumps & Bumps?

Lumps and bumps may include a variety of skin and subcutaneous (under the skin) growths, such as:

  • Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that may become inflamed or infected.
  • Lipomas: Soft, fatty, non-cancerous growths under the skin.
  • Skin Tags: Small, soft pieces of skin often found in areas of friction.
  • Sebaceous Cysts: Blocked oil glands leading to a firm lump under the skin.
  • Warts or Growths: Often caused by viral infections or skin irritation.
  • Other Benign Lesions: Raised or discoloured areas of skin that may need examination.

Who is Suitable for Lumps & Bumps Surgery?

Most people with bothersome or uncertain skin lumps are suitable candidates. Surgery may be advised if:

  • The lump is growing, painful, or has changed in appearance.
  • It frequently gets irritated or infected.
  • It is unsightly or affecting confidence.
  • A doctor suspects the lump may need further pathological testing.


Benefits of Lumps & Bumps Surgery

  • Relief from symptoms: Removal can eliminate discomfort or recurrent infections.
  • Peace of mind: Suspicious lumps can be sent for pathology to rule out serious conditions.
  • Cosmetic improvement: Unwanted skin growths can be removed for aesthetic reasons.
  • Quick recovery: Most procedures are done under local anaesthetic with minimal downtime.


Lumps & Bumps Surgery Procedure

  • Preparation: The area is cleaned and numbed with local anaesthetic.
  • Removal: The lump is carefully excised. This may involve a small cut to remove the entire growth.
  • Closure: The wound is stitched or dressed as needed.
  • Duration: Most procedures take less than 30 minutes.


What to Expect After a Lumps & Bumps Surgery?

  • Mild swelling or tenderness is common for a few days.
  • You’ll receive instructions on wound care and signs to watch for.
  • Stitches (if used) may be removed within 7–10 days.
  • The removed tissue may be sent to pathology for diagnosis.


Lumps & Bumps Surgery Risks and Complications

Lumps & Bumps Surgery is a low-risk procedure. However, like all minor surgeries, there are some possible complications:

  • Minor bleeding or bruising
  • Infection at the wound site
  • Scarring (usually minimal and fades over time)
  • Recurrence of the lump (rare)


Lumps & Bumps Surgery Recovery Plan

  • Keep the area clean and dry.
  • Avoid heavy exercise or stretching near the surgical site for a few days.
  • Attend your follow-up appointment to review the healing and pathology results, if necessary.


What if Lumps & Bumps Surgery is Delayed?

Delaying removal may result in:

  • Increased size or discomfort
  • Higher risk of infection or rupture
  • Missed opportunity for early diagnosis of concerning lesions


If you’ve noticed a new lump or bump, or have one that’s changed or causing problems, book a consultation for a thorough assessment and advice on treatment options.
