If you’ve got them, we can help remove them!
Whether due to too much sun exposure or growing older, aging is worn most visibly on our skin. Freckles and moles may not have bothered you in your youth, but as we age, our bodies undergo changes that can transform once cute freckles into multiple, darkened, spots that have changed in shape or size. Although lumps, bumps, and moles are known to crop up on our skin as we age, and are usually benign, it’s always best to keep a trusted eye on any growths, lesions, or spots.
At External Affairs, we recommend Electrocautery to address these issues.
What causes lumps, bumps, and moles?
While our skin’s health is often determined by our genetics, including how many freckles and moles we might end up with, there are external factors that influence how our spots change over time.
Exposure to the sun is one of the quickest and biggest perpetrators of skin damage. Too much time spent outside in hot conditions with improper skin coverage create a prime breeding ground for lumps, bumps, and moles. Plus, it slows our skin’s ability to regenerate and heal from the sun’s UV rays or tanning beds, leaving us with multiplying spots, bumps, and discoloration.
Other lumps and bumps can along with age as our skin’s oil production increases or decreases. Lumps can appear skin-colored, red, brown, or white with a rough, dry, or oily texture and are most commonly found on our arms, face, nose, neck, and chest.
