What is the difference between a mole and skin tag?
A "skin tag", medically known as an acrochordon, is a common, benign, pedunculated growth, usually found in areas of friction. (Around neck, under arms, in groin region etc.) They typically only require treatment when symptomatic. A "mole", medically known as a nevus, is a growth composed of the pigment producing cells called melanocytes. They are usually pigmented, light to dark brown, and may be raised or completely flat. Some moles may be skin-colored and raised - and may be mistaken for a "skin tag". Moles by definition are benign, however they can progress into a serious malignancy - melanoma. If you have any unusual, pigmented growths on your skin, have them evaluated by a dermatologist. READ MORE
How long is the recovery after Mohs surgery?
This question depends on many factors. The type of skin cancer, the size, location, and extent of the skin cancer, and the type of repair performed. Patients with typical surgeries and linear repairs, will usually see their sutures removed in 5 - 14 days (depending on location). After that time, regular activities can usually be resumed, make-up can be applied, and bandages are no longer necessary. The wound will not be completely healed for several weeks (just like any other surgical wound), and during that time your doctor may want you to apply creams that help in the healing process and improve the final appearance of the scar. If a flap or a graft is necessary, then the healing process may take longer. The majority of my patients can return to work the next day, and resume their normal activities soon thereafter. I hope that was helpful. READ MORE
