Abnormal skin growths and abnormal pigmentation of the skin may be present at birth, or develop later in life. Although harmless in most cases, skin growth and pigmentation disorders should be monitored for any changes that may indicate a development of cancerous skin cells.

There are many types of skin growths and pigmentation disorders. Listed in the navigation in the blue box on the left side of this page are some of the conditions, for which we have provided a brief overview.

If you cannot find the condition in which you are interested, please visit the Online Resources page in this web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.
