Wart / Mole / Skin Tag Treatment

What Are Warts, Moles, and Skin Tags?

Warts are small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Moles are pigmented spots or growths that appear anywhere on the body. Skin tags are soft, small, benign growths that often occur in skin folds.

Though mostly harmless, these growths can be unsightly, itchy, or irritated, making treatment desirable for cosmetic or comfort reasons.

Causes & Triggers

• Warts: Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Moles: Genetic factors and sun exposure
• Skin Tags: Friction in skin folds, hormonal changes, or obesity
• Immune system factors can increase susceptibility to warts
• Excessive sun exposure may darken moles or trigger new ones

Common Symptoms

• Small, raised bumps on skin (warts)
• Brown or black pigmented spots (moles)
• Soft, skin-colored growths (skin tags)
• Itching, irritation, or bleeding if rubbed or injured
• Appearance can affect confidence or comfort
