Skin tags are small, brown or flesh-coloured growths that protrude from the surface of the skin, usually by a few millimeters. Often mistaken for warts, skin tags can appear anywhere on the body but are typically found in areas where skin repeatedly rubs against itself, such as the armpits, groin, eyelids, and neck. Some skin tags grow over time and very occasionally can become as large as 5 centimeters. Warts are benign (non-cancerous) skin growths, most commonly found on the hands and feet. They are caused by viruses, with around 60 known wart-causing viruses in existence. Warts are highly contagious as the affected skin cells release the viruses, so hygiene is of the utmost importance if you are affected.

Before - After
Common Causes and Types
  • Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) entering small cuts or breaks in the skin, leading to rough, hard skin bumps.
  • Common types include common warts (on hands and fingers), plantar warts (on the soles of feet), and flat warts.
  • Skin tags (acrochordons) are tiny flaps of collagen and blood vessels hanging off the skin, triggered by friction, genetics, aging, or hormonal changes like pregnancy.
  • Unlike warts, skin tags are not caused by a virus and cannot spread to other parts of your body or to other people. they are completely non-contagious.
Treatment Options Available
  • Cryotherapy (Freezing): A doctor sprays liquid nitrogen onto the lesion to freeze and destroy the abnormal cells, causing the wart or skin tag fall off.
  • Surgical Removal (Snipping or Excision): A medical provider numbs the area and uses sterile surgical scissors or a scalpel to cleanly cut off a skin tag or stubborn wart.
  • Electrosurgery or Cauterization: An electric current or heated tool burns away unwanted tissue and stops bleeding.
  • Topical Acids: Over-the-counter options like salicylic acid gradually peel away dead layers of a wart.
Procedure and Recovery
  • The treatment procedure is typically quick and performed in a clinical setting with minimal discomfort.
  • Most removal methods require only a few minutes, and local numbing may be used for surgical procedures.
  • The healing timeline depends on the size and location of the treated spot, but superficial healing of the skin typically takes 2 to 4 weeks.
After-Care Procedure
  • Keep the treated area clean and dry, and wash gently with mild soap and water daily. Avoid picking, scratching, or rubbing the treated area to prevent infection and scarring.
  • Do not pick at scabs or intentionally pop blisters that form from freezing, as letting them heal naturally prevents infection and scarring.
  • Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly and cover with a clean bandage if the area rubs against clothing or shoes.
  • Avoid swimming, hot tubs, or soaking the area in water for at least a week.
  • Watch for signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, pain, or pus, and contact your provider if you notice any of these symptoms.
  • Attend any follow-up appointments as recommended by your provider to ensure proper healing and check if any additional treatments are needed.

Frequently asked questions

How do you get a wart?

Warts are caused by viruses called the Human Pailloma Virus. When the virus comes into contact with your skin, it causes an infection. Warts are more likely to develop on broken skin. It is easier for the virus to enter in to the skin. Children are more prone to get warts because their immune system have not built up their defences against the numerous types of viruses that exist.
Are warts contagious?

Unfortunately, they are! You can get from touching a wart on someone else’s body, or by coming into contact with surfaces that touched another person’s warts - towels, clothes.
Can warts spread from one part of the body to another?

Yes. Therefore it is very important not to pick at warts. Wash your hands thoroughly if and when you touch a wart. Shaving over a wart transmits the virus.
What are the black dots seen on warts?

These little specks are tiny blood vessels that are supplying the wart with oxygen and nutrients.
Can warts be prevented?

Difficult, but yes. Wash your hands regularly. Keep your skin healthy, moisturized and minimize cuts. Stop biting nails - nail biting creates a breach in the skin and facilitate viruses. Use clean fresh towels at the gym, hotele etc. Always wear rubber soled footwear in public locker rooms and showers.
Do warts go away on their own?

Some go away without treatment. Some will not. It is best to treat them as soon as you get them.
When do you need to see a doctor about warts?

For common skin warts it is fine to use over the counter treatment. If it does’nt go away or gets worse it is best to see a dermatologist.
