Growths on the skin increase with age, certain medical conditions (such as pregnancy) and may have an underlying genetic predisposition.
It is important to seek evaluation from a dermatologist who has expertise in distinguishing whether the growth of concern is benign or warrants further testing.
Common benign, noncancerous growths include:
Skin tags
Seborrheic keratoses
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
Milia
Sebaceous Hyperplasia
Cherry Angiomas
and more…
At Boutik Dermatology by ObiohaMD, we offer the expertise to diagnose such benign lesions using dermoscopy as well as offer wide range of cosmetic removal options using laser, snip removal and/or fine needle electrodessication.
