A
wart is a small, hard, rough lump
on your skin, The wart may be reddish-brown,
black, gray, or the same color as
your skin. Warts can grow and spread.
You may develop a number of them
or find only one. A wart is a harmless,
non cancerous skin growth caused
by a human papillomavirus (HPV).
There are more than 100 known types
of HPV. HPV infects the top layer
of skin, usually entering the body
in an area of broken skin. The virus
causes the top layer of skin to
grow rapidly, resulting in a wart.
Warts generally go away on their
own within months or years. Warts
can occur anywhere on the body.
They are most common among children
and young adults.
Moles:
Moles,
known medically as nevi, are clusters
of pigmented cells that often appear
as small, dark brown spots on your
torso, face, arms and legs. But
moles can come in a range of colors
and can develop virtually anywhere,
including your scalp, armpits, under
your nails, and between your fingers
and toes.
Most
people have between 10 and 40 moles,
although the number you have, may
change throughout life. New moles
can appear into mid-adulthood, and
because moles last about 50 years,
some moles may disappear as you
age.
The
majority of moles are harmless,
but in rare cases, moles may become
cancerous.
Freckles:
A
freckle (ephelis) is an increase
in pigment in the innermost (basal)
layer of the epidermis, which is
the top layer of skin. People aren't
born with freckles. They develop
in childhood and in later years
as a result of repeated sun exposure.
Freckles occur primarily in sun-exposed
areas such as the nose and shoulders.
It's thought that freckling is a
protective mechanism of the skin.
Freckles are especially common in
people with fair complexions. Heredity
likely also influences freckling.
Freckles are superficial and usually
don't need removal. They're not
associated with cancer. But people
with fair complexions are at increased
risk of skin cancer with excessive
sun exposure.
At
BERKOWITS Wats, Moles & Freckles are

or simple surgery with electro cautery or radio frequency process
