Removal of Red/Black Moles (Benign Skin Growths)
Red or black moles are usually benign (non-cancerous) skin growths made of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) or blood vessels (in the case of cherry angiomas). While most moles are harmless, some people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons, irritation, or if there's suspicion of abnormal growth.
Common Types of Moles:
- Black/Brown Moles (Nevi) – Flat or raised pigmented spots.
- Red Moles (Cherry Angiomas) – Small, bright red spots caused by clusters of blood vessels.
