Moles, Skin Tags & DPNs

Moles

Moles are a common type of skin growth that often appear as small, dark brown spots. They are caused by clusters of pigmented cells and generally appear during childhood and adolescence. Most people have 10 to 40 moles, some of which may change in appearance or fade away over time.

Skin Tags

A skin tag is a small piece of soft, hanging skin that may have a peduncle, or stalk. They can appear anywhere on the body, but especially where skin rubs against other skin or clothing. They usually form within the skin folds of the neck, armpits, breasts, groin area, and eyelids.

DPNs

DPN stands for Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra and is characterized by multiple small, black or brown skin tags on the face, cheeks, forehead and neck. The likelihood of developing DPNs tend to run in families and are more commonly found to affect African Americans - about 35% of this population has this condition.
