The Safe Way to Address Skin Growths
Skin growths, though often small, can become a big hassle in your daily life. They can rub against your clothes, get caught on jewelry, or mess with your routine when shaving or applying makeup. While the idea of handling it yourself might be tempting, attempting at-home removal can lead to some serious risks—think pain, scarring, unwanted bleeding, or even infections.
What’s more, what seems like a harmless skin tag could actually be something more serious, like a wart or even skin cancer. That’s why it’s important to get it checked out properly. For safe, effective removal, trust the experts at Coastal Dermatology & Medspa. Our board-certified dermatologist and providers are here to provide top-notch care for all kinds of skin concerns.

Jacksonville’s Top Questions About Skin Growths
Skin growths are tissue bumps that extend beyond the surface of your skin. They can range from harmless keratoses and moles to more serious, cancerous growths. A professional evaluation helps identify what type you’re dealing with and guides the right treatment plan.
Changes in a mole’s shape, color, or texture can be warning signs of a potential cancerous growth. Also, if you suddenly notice more moles popping up, it’s a good idea to have them checked out by the experts at Coastal Dermatology & Medspa. Remember to use the ABCDE guide during your self-skin checks to stay proactive about your health.
These growths happen when clusters of pigment cells gather together in your skin, and while most are completely harmless, some can develop into skin cancer. If a mole is in an uncomfortable spot or you simply don’t like the way it looks, removal is a simple option to consider.
