Moles (which may be black, flat, or raised), warts (typically rough and skin-colored), and skin tags (soft, flesh-like growths) are among the most common types of skin growths. Warts should be treated promptly to prevent spread or discomfort. Moles and skin tags are usually removed for cosmetic reasons or if they cause irritation, pain, or swelling. Cancerous changes in moles are less common in Indian skin types, but any noticeable changes should always be evaluated by a medical professional.
