Skin Tags & Moles

​Skin tags and moles are both common skin growths that can appear on various parts of the body.

1. Skin Tags:

   • Description: Are small, soft, benign (non-cancerous) growths that typically hang off the skin by a thin stalk or peduncle. They are often flesh-coloured or slightly darker and have a wrinkled or smooth surface.

   • Location: Skin tags commonly occur in areas where skin rubs against skin, such as the neck, armpits, groin, and under the breasts. However, they can also appear in other areas.

   • Cause: The exact cause of skin tags is not well understood, but friction or rubbing of the skin, hormonal changes, and genetics may contribute to their development.

2. Moles:

   • Description: Moles, or naevi, are clusters of pigmented cells that appear as dark spots on the skin. They can vary in size, colour, and shape. Moles can be flat or raised, and their surface may be smooth or slightly rough.

   • Location: Moles can appear anywhere on the body, and most people have some moles. They often develop during childhood and adolescence but can continue to appear throughout one's life.

   • Cause: Moles result from the accumulation of melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin. Genetics and sun exposure play significant roles in the development of moles.

If you notice any changes in the appearance of moles or have concerns about skin tags, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist for a professional evaluation. If you observe rapid changes, bleeding, or other unusual symptoms, seek medical attention.
