A blemish can be any type of mark on your face, a spot, discoloration, or flaw that appears on the skin. Blemishes on the face can be conceived as unsightly and emotionally upsetting, but most are benign and not life-threatening. Some blemishes, however, can signal skin cancer. In cases where you are unsure, its best to seek the advice of a good skin specialist/dermatologist like Dr. Tilman Stasch. who can do a thorough examination or mole mapping, if necessary.

Most blemishes are harmless, but some people may wish to treat them for cosmetic reasons.
