There are several skin growths (lesions) that are very common and benign (non-cancerous) such as mole removal treatments, but individuals seek removal of them due to cosmetic reasons. Some may bleed and cause irritation, such as redness and discomfort, because of their location. Astra Skin and Laser Solutions offers skin tag removal, mole removal treatment, and removal of other cosmetic skin growths. We utilize several techniques to remove the lesions depending on location, size, quantity and type of lesion. The following are examples of the type of lesions we remove:

• Lentigines (sunspots, age spots, freckles, or liver spots): flat, brown, usually small but sometimes large, spot that is associated with aging or sun-damaged skin that develop anywhere on the skin.

• Acrochordon (skin tag): common, acquired, benign skin growths that are skin- or flesh-colored tissue and look like a small piece of soft, hanging skin. They are found on the neck, underarms, upper trunk, eyelids, groin folds, and under the breasts.

• Seborrheic keratoses (SK): greasy, waxy, flesh-colored to dark-colored, “stuck-on” lesion. They are common in elderly people; usually located on face, torso, shoulders or back.

• Actinic keratoses (AK) also known as solar or senile keratoses: rough, scaly, red papules or plaques that occur on sun exposed areas such as face, scalp, ears, neck, arms, hands, torso, and legs. They are typically seen in fair-skinned individuals with a history of chronic sun exposure. If untreated, these lesions may become skin cancer.

• Nevi (moles): small fleshed to pigmented colored benign growths on the skin that come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Moles can be round, oval, flat, or raised. Moles can appear anywhere on the skin, alone or in groups.

• Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN): many small, smooth, raised, benign skin lesions on that face and neck that closely simulate seborrheic keratoses, a condition generally presenting on dark-skinned individuals. They never become malignant.

• Phlebectases (Venous Lake): soft, compressible, dark blue to violaceous papule generally occur among the elderly and commonly found on sun-exposed surfaces of the vermilion border of the lip, face and ears.

• Cherry angiomas (also known as capillary angioma, and capillary hemangioma): cherry-red to purple colored benign skin made up of clusters of dilated capillaries on the surface of the skin commonly found on the torso but can occur almost anywhere on the skin.

• Telangiectasias: small dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin found anywhere on the body but are commonly seen on the face around the nose, cheeks, and chin.
