Understanding Common Skin Concerns
- Warts: Small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), often found on hands or feet.
- Skin tags: Soft, painless growths of skin, commonly appearing on the neck, armpits, or under the breasts.
- Lipomas: Soft, fatty lumps beneath the skin that grow slowly and are usually harmless but may require removal if painful or enlarging.
Though usually noncancerous, proper medical evaluation ensures the growth is safe and treated appropriately.
Signs You Should Seek Skin Treatment
You may benefit from a skin procedure if you experience:
- Growths that increase in size or change in appearance
- Skin lesions causing irritation, bleeding, or recurrent infection
- Cosmetic concerns from visible warts, skin tags, or lipomas
- Pain, discomfort, or restriction of movement due to a lump
- Uncertainty about whether a growth is benign or requires further testing
