Wart/Mole/Skin Tag Removal

What is a Mole?

A mole is a common skin growth that appears as a small, dark spot on the skin. Moles are usually brown or black and can be flat or raised. They are generally harmless but may need removal if they change in size, shape, or color, or for cosmetic reasons.

What is a Wart?

A wart is a small, rough growth on the skin caused by a viral infection, specifically the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are contagious and can spread to other parts of the body or to other people. They are often found on hands, feet, and other areas prone to friction.

What is a Skin Tag?

A skin tag is a small, soft, benign skin growth that often appears in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, and groin. Skin tags are typically painless and harmless but may be removed for cosmetic reasons or if they cause irritation.
