Common signs
- Brown, black or tan growths
- Waxy, scaly or slightly raised
- Look pasted onto the skin
- Can be single or many
How it is treated
No treatment is needed, but growths that are irritated or bothersome can be removed, for example by freezing or scraping.
When to see a dermatologist
See a dermatologist if a growth looks different from the others, changes quickly, or bleeds, so skin cancer can be ruled out.
