Skin growths are common. Some are harmless and can be safely removed, while others may be potentially serious. That’s why an appointment with a qualified medical skin specialist is strongly recommended to determine the safest and most appropriate treatment options, should you decide to have a growth removed.

Dr. McDonald, at Laser Aesthetics, has extensive knowledge and expertise when dealing with problems of the skin. Make your appointment with her today to discuss your unique situation and solutions.

AA mole (nevus) is a common, usually benign skin growth made up of clustered melanocytes—pigment-producing cells that create brown, tan, or black spots on the skin. Moles typically develop during childhood and adolescence, with most people having 10 to 45 moles, almost all of which appear before age 40. Over time, some moles may fade or disappear, while others remain unchanged; any mole that changes in size, shape, colour, or sensation should be evaluated by a medical professional.

Most moles are harmless. Rarely, they become cancerous. Monitoring moles and other pigmented patches is an important step in detecting skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma.

A skin tag (acrochordon) is a small, soft, benign flap of hanging skin that commonly appears on the neck, underarms, chest, or groin. These noncancerous growths can range from a single tag to hundreds and occur equally in both men and women. Although a few may fall off on their own, most skin tags persist once formed and are often removed for comfort or cosmetic reasons rather than medical necessity.

A lot of people want them removed for aesthetics purpose, or because they catch on clothing or jewelry and become a bother.

A seborrheic keratosis is a common, harmless (noncancerous) skin growth with a waxy, scaly, or “stuck-on” appearance. It usually develops in adults over 40 and is not related to sun exposure.

These growths often appear as brown, black, or light tan patches on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. When you touch them, they typically feel slightly raised, rough, or waxy. Although seborrheic keratoses do not turn into skin cancer, they can sometimes resemble cancerous lesions, so medical assessment is recommended if their appearance changes.

Seborrheic keratoses are normally painless and do not require treatment. However, you may choose to have them removed if they become irritated by clothing or jewelry, or if you find them cosmetically bothersome.

Oakville residents often experience skin growths due to common factors such as:

• Outdoor lifestyle: Oakville’s proximity to Lake Ontario, hiking trails, and outdoor sports increases sun exposure—leading to more moles and pigmented lesions.
• Aging population: Many Oakville neighbourhoods have growing adult and senior populations, who are more prone to seborrheic keratoses.
• Friction from clothing: Active lifestyles and certain garment types can contribute to skin tag formation, especially in warmer months.
• Genetics: Skin tags and seborrheic keratoses often run in families, a trend frequently observed in our Oakville patients.

Early evaluation helps determine whether a growth is harmless or requires medical attention.
