Issue - Moles
Moles and skins growths can be a problem to many people. They may dislike the look of the growth and feel self conscious because of it. They may be worried about the nature of the growth, particularly if it is in an area of high sun exposure or if it has recently grown or changed in any way.
Moles are usually brown in colour and round in shape, either flat of raised. If they have changed recently they should be checked by a doctor to exclude melanoma or skin cancer. Signs to look out for include itching, bleeding, failure to heal, increase in size or change in colour.
Skin Tags are small fleshy growths, often on a stalk. They usually seen around the neck,underarm, under breasts or in the groin. They are easily removed and are almost always benign in nature.
Seborrhoeic Keratoses are warty looking skin growths that are usually brown in colour. They are soft and often break off if scratched. They become more common as people get older.
Warts are due to a viral infection of the skin. They are common in people of all ages, particularly on the hands. Verruccas are warts occurring on the soles of the feet.
