Skin Tags, Moles, Milia & Warts Removal

Most moles, sometimes referred to as birthmarks or beauty spots, are only the result of a benign expansion of pigment cells. Skin tags are growths that are attached to the skin by a stalk called a peduncle, whereas warts are hard growths on the skin. Milia, which occur when keratin becomes trapped underneath the skin’s surface, are a common complaint. All these skin conditions may be readily eliminated for comfort or aesthetic purposes and are normally painless but uncomfortable.

A skin tag may appear anywhere on the skin, especially the neck, chest, back, under the arms, under the breasts, or in the groin area. Women are more likely to develop skin tags than men due to the higher collagen stored. Skin tags may occur after weight gain and are more commonly seen in middle-aged or elderly adults.
