Skin growths—from moles and growths to skin tags and cysts—are extremely common. We assess, diagnose, and successfully treat hundreds of cases of skin growths in our patients.
Most skin growths are harmless. But sometimes—particularly in the case of some moles—they’re not and can be cancerous, which is why all moles and growths should be assessed by a dermatologist.
If a skin growth is painful, itchy, bleeding, rough (or scaly and crusty in texture), enlarging or growing, we recommend that you have it examined as soon as possible. .
