At Niine Skin Clinic, small skin growths can be easily and quickly removed. The procedure is performed by our dermatology nurses.
There are many types of skin lesions that are not harmful. Often, people wish to remove them for aesthetic reasons.
Papillomas, also known as skin tags, are soft, raised growths on the skin, most commonly found on the eyelids, armpits, under the breasts, and in the intimate area. Skin tags are usually skin-colored or slightly darker.
They can vary in size, but most often are just a few millimeters in diameter.
Papillomas are benign and generally do not require concern.
Why do skin tags occur?
Benign skin growths such as tags can be caused by a variety of factors. They commonly develop in areas like the armpits, neck, or intimate regions. Contributing factors include being overweight, diabetes, genetic predisposition, or hormonal changes.
Should skin growths be removed?
A skin growth is worth removing if it bothers you. Treatment results are usually very good, as the tags are removed superficially. No scarring is left after removing small tags; with larger ones, small marks may occasionally remain.
At Niine Skin Clinic, skin tags are removed by our experienced dermatology nurses.
Seborrheic keratosis is the most common benign skin lesion. Its development is primarily related to genetics, aging, frictional trauma, and sun exposure.
These lesions often appear in clusters and can occur all over the body – on the face, scalp, body, and limbs.
They are most common in sun-exposed areas of the skin. Typically, they develop in middle-aged and older adults.
The appearance of seborrheic keratosis can vary widely. It may look like a pinkish-beige plaque or like a large, dark lump. Its appearance can differ depending on the location on the body and the age of the lesion.
Seborrheic keratoses are characterized by a dry and rough surface, which may sometimes flake off on its own. (They may also cause redness or itchiness on the skin.)
