Posted on Thu, 15 Oct 2015
Question: My wife have started developing very tiny moles around neck. I heard about them developing due to stress. Is it because of stress or thin gold chain she is wearing. Please suggest something to apply so that they can be reduced.

Brief Answer:
Either Skin Tags Or Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra.

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query and I have noted down your concern.

I think she most likely has skin tags Or dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPNs) which are tiny, raised growths of skin around the circumference of neck. They are not due to stress neither are they due to gold chain.

Treatment is simple. Thay have to be ablated with help of either Radiofrequency Cautery Or CO 2 Laser vaporization.

I suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your vicinity for the needful.

Regards
