What are Skin Tags, Warts & Moles?
Skin tags, warts, and moles are common skin growths that can develop anywhere on the body.
- Skin Tags: Harmless, small, flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin. They commonly appear on the neck, underarms, back, face, and groin area.
- Warts: Similar to skin tags but caused by a viral infection (HPV). They can spread through contact and are often rough to touch.
- Moles: Pigmented skin spots that vary in size and shape. Some are harmless, but changes in size or color may require medical attention.
Though usually harmless, these growths can be an aesthetic concern or become irritated by clothing and jewelry.
Causes & Risk Factors
Skin tags, warts, and moles can develop due to various reasons:
- Skin Tags: Friction from skin rubbing, obesity, and hormonal changes.
- Warts: Viral infection (HPV), weak immunity, and direct skin contact.
- Moles: Genetic factors, sun exposure, and hormonal fluctuations.
While skin tags and moles are non-contagious, warts can spread through touch and shared personal items.

Aftercare & Recovery
Post-treatment care is crucial to ensure smooth healing and prevent infection:
- Keep the treated area clean and dry.

- Do not scratch or pick at the healing skin.
