Skin Tags & Moles Treatment In Sacramento
Skin tags and moles are some of the many skin conditions treated at Beauty by Barr MD. While these two conditions can look similar, they have different causes and effects. Understanding them is essential to determine which condition is present and how it should be treated.
Skin Tags Vs. Moles
Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, usually flesh-colored or slightly darker growths that hang off the skin’s surface by a thin stalk. They are typically very soft and benign, although some may become irritated if caught on clothing or jewelry. Skin tags can appear anywhere from the neck down but are more common in areas with folds of skin, like the armpit, neck, groin area, or eyelids. The most common cause of skin tags is genetics, although they can also be caused by skin rubbing against itself (friction), certain medical conditions, and obesity.
Moles
Moles, on the other hand, are growths that appear on the surface of the skin. Moles are typically darker in color than skin tags and are usually round or oval in shape. Unlike skin tags, which hang off the surface of the skin, moles are raised above it. The most common cause of moles is genetic predisposition to them; however, sun exposure is also believed to increase their development.
What Causes Scarring?
Many different causes can lead to scarring, including surgery, accidents or injuries, burns, spots or comedones (whiteheads), pimples (acne), or other skin conditions. Scarring is a natural part of the body’s healing process; however, it can result in imperfections that leave lasting marks on the skin. Depending on the severity of the scarring, those with scars may experience physical discomfort as well as emotional distress associated with the condition.
