These are the 7 most common causes of facial skin growth that I see in my practice. Take a look at the picture of these 7 conditions. I will be elaborating on them in these two-part video series. Most of them are benign and are pretty much harmless. 1) Seborrheic keratosis These are extremely common lesions. 30% of people have at least one of these by the age of 40 and they affect over 70% of people by the age of 70. They look waxy, the color may be brown or dark blue, or even black. They appear as if it's stuck onto the skin. Some resemble barnacles and they can vary in size from tiny ones to 2-3cm big ones. There are often no symptoms though they can be itchy at times. They are usually found on the scalp, face, shoulder, chest, abdomen, and back. So seborrhoic keratosis are harmless and often no treatment is necessary. However, removal can be done for aesthetic reasons if it causes problem like itching or irritation when rubbed against clothes or pieces of jewelry or if there is suspicion of skin cancer. Removal methods include cryosurgery: where liquid nitrogen is applied to the growth with a cotton swab or a spray gun causing the lesion to freeze and fall off after a few days. electrocautery: I like to use the term electric pen to remove the growth by burning them away using electrical energy. laser: using an ablative laser-like co2 or erbium YAG. Take note however that seborrheic keratosis is often due to age and therefore new lesions are prone to occur. 2) sebaceous hyperplasia Again a very common benign skin condition of the oil glands of our skin involving adults of middle age and older. These growths are often beige or yellowish in color and appear mostly on the forehead, nose, and cheeks, they can also occur on any part of the body except the palms and soles. Close inspection reveals a central dent representing a hair follicle surrounded by yellowish protruding lobules. The cause of it is usually due to aging but familial cases have been reported in which younger individuals are affected with multiple lesions suggesting a genetic predisposition. Also, patients who are on cyclosporin A (which is an immunosuppression drug ) seem to have a much higher incidence of sebaceous hyperplasia. like seborrheic keratosis, they are harmless and no treatment is necessary. They can be removed however for cosmetic reasons or if they are bothersome or irritated by clothes and jewelry Removal methods are very similar to seborrheic keratosis. We can use electrocautery ablative lasers or in severe cases, even oral isotretinoin. 3) Skin tags These are small, soft and flesh-colored benign skin growth. They may resemble a soft deflated balloon suspended on a slender stalk. They are probably the single most common bump on an adult’s skin. They are harmless but can be an annoying skin problem as it can get irritated or pulled by clothes or during everyday activities. Almost everyone will develop a skin tag at some time of their lives but middle-aged, obese adults are more prone to having it. Occasionally some of these smaller skin tags may drop off on their own. Removal often is not necessary and it can be done for cosmetic reasons or if they become a source of irritation or discomfort ( when it's pressing against the bed when sleeping or when it constantly gets irritated during movements such as if it was growing under your armpit or your groin area ) Treatment involves cutting it off with a surgical knife or scissors burning it off with electrocautery or ablative lasers strangulation with a ligature.
