Many of us will have a growth or bump on our skin but what is a normal part of aging and what is something we need to get checked out by a GP or other healthcare professional?

It's not uncommon to have spots, moles, warts, skin tags and even patches of psoriasis. These may appear as isolated growths or part of a cluster or rash somewhere on your skin.
