Warts
Common warts are local growths in the skin that are caused by virus infection. They are generally not contagious. A wart is a small, hard, rough lump on your skin. Although you may get a wart anywhere on your body, they are most common on fingers and hands. You may or may not need treatment. Warts can be a long-term problem.Causes Warts are caused by a virus called Human Papillomavirus (PAP-ih-LOW- muh-VI-russ), or HPV. Signs/Symptoms. The wart may be reddish-brown, black, gray, or the same color as your skin. Warts can grow and spread. You may develop a number of them or find only one. Warts sometimes go away without treatment. Others may need to be removed by the doctor. The two most common procedures are
electrocautery (burning the wart away) and cryotherapy (killing the wart with frost). At Berkowits we pracise both methodologiesto achieve results.

Moles

A mole or melanocytic naevus is a small, dark spot on the skin. It can be either subdermal (composed of melanin), or a pigmented growth on the skin, formed mostly of melanocytes. The high concentration of melanin is responsible for their dark color. They are a member of the family of skin lesions known as naevi.

Freckles

Freckles are small tan spots of melanin on the skin of people with fair complexions. Having freckles is genetic and is related to the presence of the melanocortin-1 receptor MC1R gene variant. Freckling can also be triggered by long exposure to sunlight, such as suntanning. When the sun's rays penetrate the skin, they activate melanocytes which can cause freckles to become darker and more numerous, although the distribution of melanin is not the same. Fair hair such as blonde, or more commonly red hair, are usually common with the genetic factor of freckles, but none so much as fair or pale skin.
