What Are Moles, Skin Tags & DPN?

Moles:
Benign pigmented growths that may be present from birth or appear later. Some moles can grow, change color, or become symptomatic and may require evaluation by a dermatologist.

Skin Tags:
Soft, harmless skin growths commonly found on the neck, underarms, eyelids, breast folds, or groin. They may become irritated by clothing or jewelry.

DPN (Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra):
A common, harmless condition seen mostly in darker skin types, appearing as multiple small, dark bumps on the face and neck.

Why Remove Them?

A dermatologist will assess your lesion to ensure it is safe for removal.
