Safe and Effective Treatment for Common Skin Growths in New Jersey
Raised lesions and bumps on the skin are very common and, in most cases, harmless. However, they can sometimes cause discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concerns. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, our board-certified dermatologists provide expert evaluation and treatment for a wide variety of skin growths, including moles, cherry angiomas, skin tags, molluscum, and keratosis pilaris. Whether you want reassurance about a benign spot or removal for medical or cosmetic reasons, we deliver safe, effective care tailored to your needs.
Moles are common skin growths made up of clusters of pigmented cells. While most moles are harmless, changes in size, shape, or color may indicate skin cancer and require professional evaluation. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, we carefully examine moles to rule out any serious concerns and, if desired, provide removal options for both medical and cosmetic reasons. Our team ensures that mole removal is performed with precision, prioritizing both your health and your skin’s appearance.
Cherry angiomas are small, bright red bumps caused by clusters of blood vessels near the skin’s surface. These growths are benign but may become bothersome or bleed if irritated. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, we offer simple and effective treatments such as laser therapy or electrocautery to remove cherry angiomas. These quick procedures can restore smooth skin and boost confidence without downtime.
Skin tags are soft, flesh-colored growths that often appear in areas where the skin rubs together, such as the neck, armpits, or eyelids. Though completely benign, skin tags can be a cosmetic nuisance or become irritated by clothing or jewelry. Our dermatologists at Skin & Laser Center of NJ provide safe, in-office removal of skin tags through methods like snipping, freezing, or cauterization. Treatment is quick and virtually painless, leaving your skin clear and smooth.
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that causes small, raised, dome-shaped bumps with a dimple in the center. While not dangerous, molluscum is contagious and can spread to other areas of the body or between individuals. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, we offer treatments such as topical therapies, cryotherapy, and minor surgical removal to clear molluscum lesions safely and effectively, helping prevent further spread of the condition.
Keratosis pilaris, sometimes called “chicken skin,” is a common condition caused by a buildup of keratin that blocks hair follicles, resulting in rough, bumpy skin. Though harmless, it can cause cosmetic concerns and affect confidence. Our dermatologists at Skin & Laser Center of NJ recommend customized treatment options, including exfoliating creams, prescription topical therapies, and laser treatments, to smooth the skin and improve its texture. With the right care, keratosis pilaris can be significantly reduced and easier to manage long-term.
