what are benign skin growths
Skin Tags. Skin tags are benign, fleshy skin growths that are brown or flesh-coloured and occur in warm, moist areas where clothing usually rubs, such as around the neck, underarms, breasts and groin areas; occasionally they are also found around the eyes.
Skin tumors are abnormal growths of tissue that can be malignant (cancerous) or benign (harmless). Skin tumors become extremely common as people get older. Some common benign tumors include: Warts (skin tumor resulting from a virus) Seborrheic keratoses (growths on the skin ranging from light skin color to dark brown)
