Skin Tag & Wart Removal in Vijay Nagar, Delhi
Evaluation and Removal of Common Skin Growths
Skin tags and warts are common skin growths that are usually harmless, but they can sometimes cause discomfort, repeated irritation or cosmetic concern.
At Paartha Diagnostic Centre, skin growths can be clinically assessed before removal so that the appropriate procedure can be selected.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, soft growths of skin that commonly occur in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing.
They are frequently seen around:
- Neck
- Underarms
- Groin
- Eyelids
- Other skin folds
Skin tags are generally benign.
What Are Warts?
Warts are skin growths commonly caused by infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV).
They may occur on:
- Hands
- Fingers
- Feet
- Face
- Other areas of the body
Different types of warts can look different and may require different treatment approaches.
Why Should a Skin Growth Be Examined Before Removal?
Not every skin growth is a skin tag or wart.
Some lesions can resemble common benign growths but may require a different diagnosis or treatment.
Therefore, examination before removal is important, particularly when a lesion:
- Changes in size
- Changes in colour
- Bleeds
- Ulcerates
- Becomes painful
- Grows rapidly
- Looks unusual
Treatment Options
Depending on the type, location and size of the lesion, treatment may include an appropriate dermatological removal procedure.
The clinician will select the method after examining the lesion.
Treatment may be considered for lesions that:
- Cause repeated friction
- Bleed or get injured repeatedly
- Cause discomfort
- Interfere with shaving or clothing
- Are cosmetically bothersome
Can Skin Tags or Warts Be Removed at Home?
Home removal using cutting instruments, chemicals or unverified remedies can cause:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Burns
- Scarring
- Incorrect treatment of a lesion that requires medical evaluation
Professional assessment is preferable before removal.
Can Warts Come Back After Treatment?
Yes.
Because warts are associated with viral infection, recurrence can occur even after successful removal. The treatment approach depends on the type and location of the wart.
Will Removal Leave a Scar?
The risk of scarring depends on the lesion, its size and location, the treatment method and individual healing.
The aim is to remove the lesion while minimising unnecessary injury to surrounding skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are skin tags dangerous?
Most skin tags are benign. However, a new or unusual lesion should be examined if there is any doubt about its diagnosis.
2. Are warts contagious?
Yes. Warts can spread through direct or indirect contact, particularly when the skin is damaged.
3, Can all warts be removed in one session?
Not always. The number of treatments depends on the type, size, number and location of the warts.
4. Should I remove a skin tag myself?
It is better not to cut or burn a skin lesion yourself because of the risk of bleeding, infection and scarring and the possibility of misidentifying the lesion.
5. Can skin tags grow again after removal?
A treated skin tag is removed, but new skin tags can develop elsewhere.
