Removal of benign skin growthsMost people experience the appearance of several skin growths during their lifetime.
There are various reasons for their existence. Heredity is an important factor. Excessive prolonged exposure to the sun or solariums also has an impact.
Before removal, they must be examined by a specialist, who is familiar with skin growths and will set a diagnosis.
Potentially dangerous growths, such as melanocytic pigment marks, must be surgically removed and subject to histological analysis. Most skin growths (such as fibroma and age spots) do not represent a health hazard and can be removed by other methods, such as scraping the surface of the skin. In this case, stitches are not required; the healing process last as long as with ordinary scratches.
