Warts and skin tags are common skin growths, but they are not the same. Warts are usually caused by human papillomavirus and may spread, while skin tags are soft, harmless growths that commonly appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids or body folds. At EPYX DERMA, Dr. Suhasini provides dermatologist-led evaluation and removal using the most suitable procedure for each lesion.
Before removal, Dr. Suhasini examines the size, number, location, appearance and symptoms of the growths to confirm whether they are warts, skin tags or another condition. Depending on the findings, treatment may include radiofrequency, electrocautery, cryotherapy, topical medication or another minor procedure with clear aftercare guidance.

Frequently asked questions
Warts are usually rough growths caused by a virus and may spread. Skin tags are soft, flesh-coloured growths that commonly occur in skin folds and are generally not contagious.
Depending on the lesion, treatment may include radiofrequency, electrocautery, cryotherapy, topical medicine or another minor procedure.
Most procedures are brief and can be performed with local numbing when needed. Mild temporary discomfort, redness or crusting may occur.
New skin tags may develop over time, and some warts can recur because the underlying virus may remain in nearby skin. Follow-up treatment may occasionally be needed.
Home cutting, tying, burning or using strong chemicals can cause bleeding, infection, burns or scarring. A dermatologist should first confirm the diagnosis and recommend safe removal.
