Skin Diseases

At Cleo Clinical Care, we recognize that your skin is more than just your outer layer—it's a complex organ that requires proper diagnosis and treatment to stay healthy. In the subcontinent, rapidly changing weather, pollution, and genetic predisposition contribute to an increasing number of skin conditions. While we specialize in treating infections, autoimmune diseases, and pigmentation disorders, we also offer expert care for a range of common skin growths and abnormalities that can affect both your health and confidence.

Common Skin Diseases We Treat

Here are some of the frequently encountered yet often overlooked Skin Diseases we treat at Cleo:

1. Moles (Nevi)

Moles are small, round, or oval growths that appear on the skin in various shades of brown, pink, or black. While most are benign, sudden changes in size, color, or shape may indicate an underlying issue, such as melanoma. We recommend a skin biopsy for proper diagnosis before any cosmetic or medical intervention.

2. Cysts

These are pockets of trapped dead skin cells or sebum that develop beneath the skin, often forming visible lumps. Cysts can cause pain, swelling, or infection and may need minor surgical procedures for drainage or removal.

3. Fatty Tumors (Lipomas)

Lipomas are soft, non-cancerous growths of fat cells that form beneath the skin. While usually painless, they may cause discomfort due to size or location. At Cleo, we provide safe removal options based on size, symptoms, and personal preference.

4. Keloids

Keloids are overgrown scar tissues that form at the site of an injury or wound. They appear as thick, raised, and darkened patches and are the result of excessive healing signals from the body. Treatment options include corticosteroid injections, laser therapy, and surgical removal, depending on severity.

5. Skin Tags

These small, soft, flesh-colored growths typically develop in areas of friction, such as the neck, armpits, and under the breasts. While harmless, they can be irritating or cosmetically undesirable. We offer safe and quick removal via cautery, cryotherapy, or excision.

6. Angiomas

These are small clusters of blood vessels that appear as red or purple bumps on the skin. Though usually benign, angiomas can bleed or grow larger over time. Treatments include laser therapy or electrocautery for safe removal.

7. Seborrheic Keratosis

Also referred to as "wart-like growths", these appear as dark, scaly, raised patches on sun-exposed areas, especially in older adults. Though harmless, they may mimic more serious conditions and should be evaluated by a professional. We offer non-invasive removal techniques for both medical and cosmetic reasons.

Accurate Diagnosis Before Treatment

At Cleo, Dr. Amna Ahmar personally evaluates all skin growths and lesions through a combination of dermatological examination, dermoscopy, and biopsy when needed, ensuring your treatment is precise, safe, and tailored to your condition.
