What is a Cosmetic Mole?
A cosmetic mole is a small, pigmented spot or growth on the skin that some people find desirable for its aesthetic appeal. These moles are typically flat or raised, dark brown or black, and may appear anywhere on the body. Cosmetic moles are benign and usually do not pose any health risk, but some may choose to have them removed if they are too large, in a prominent spot, or just no longer desired.
What is Lipoma?
A lipoma is a benign tumor made up of fat cells, typically found just under the skin. These soft, rubbery growths can vary in size from small to large and tend to move slightly when touched. Lipomas are usually painless, but some people may experience discomfort, especially if they press against nearby nerves or tissues. They are the most common type of soft tissue tumor in adults.
Lipomas are generally slow-growing and do not pose a serious health risk. They can occur anywhere on the body but are most often found on the upper body, arms, or thighs.
