Warts, Skin Tags and Benign Skin Growths

Small, benign growths removed in clinic as a minor procedure — assessed first, because the one thing that matters most is confirming what a lesion actually is.

The Concern

Assessment comes before removal.

Skin tags, warts and moles are common and usually harmless. But they are not the only things that look like them, and that is the reason a lesion is examined before anything is done to it.

Please do not attempt home removal. Over-the-counter kits, threads and cauterising pens circulate widely online, and they cause scarring, infection and pigment change — and, more seriously, they destroy the lesion before anyone has looked at it properly.

If a growth has changed in size, shape or colour, has become itchy or has bled, have it looked at rather than removed for cosmetic reasons. In-clinic removal is a straightforward minor procedure once the lesion has been assessed.

Why They Appear

Different growths, different causes.

01

Friction and skin type

Skin tags commonly form where skin rubs against skin or clothing — the neck, underarms and eyelids — and there is a clear familial tendency.

02

Viral cause

Warts are caused by a virus affecting the top layer of skin. Because the cause is viral, they can spread to other sites and to other people.

03

Ordinary pigment cell clusters

Most moles are simply clustered pigment cells and are entirely benign. What matters is whether one is changing, which is what an assessment establishes.

Your Options

What we may recommend

Removal method depends on what the lesion is, where it sits and its size. This is decided at assessment, and some lesions are better referred than removed.

Step One

In-Clinic Assessment

Every lesion is examined before any removal is planned. Some are referred rather than treated.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What patients usually ask before their first visit.

Can I remove a skin tag at home?

Please do not. Home kits, threads and cauterising pens cause scarring, infection and pigment change, and they destroy the lesion before it can be assessed. Removal in clinic is quick and controlled.

Does removal hurt?

Local anaesthetic is used where needed, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Most patients are surprised by how quick it is.

Will it leave a mark?

Small lesions removed properly usually heal with minimal marking, though this depends on size, site and how your skin heals. This is discussed honestly before you agree to anything.

When should I be concerned about a mole?

If it changes in size, shape or colour, develops an irregular border, becomes itchy, or bleeds. In that case have it examined rather than removed for cosmetic reasons — assessment first, always.

Do warts come back?

They can, because the cause is viral and the virus may persist in surrounding skin. Recurrence is discussed as part of the plan rather than glossed over.

Can they spread?

Warts can spread to other areas and to other people through contact. Skin tags and moles do not spread — they simply appear where the conditions favour them.
