What are Skin Growths and Blemishes?

What are skin growths and blemishes?

  • Moles – pigmented or non-pigmented protrusions (from neurological irritation or solar exposure)
  • Skin tags – pigmented or non-pigmented thin-based protrusions (usually from hormonal imbalance)
  • Senile hemangiomas – small to large red “blood blisters” (usually from capillary fragility & damage)
  • Keratoses – hard scaly protrusions (many types - age and sun related), occasionally pre-malignant
  • Various other skin lesions can be treated as well, upon evaluation and diagnosis by the doctor
  • Many moles are congenital (from birth) as birthmarks are – & cancer often starts within them!
