Understanding Warts and Skin Tags

  • Warts are small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on the hands, feet, face, or other areas and may spread if untreated.
  • Skin tags are soft, painless skin growths that often form on the neck, underarms, eyelids, or other friction-prone areas. Though benign, they can become irritated or affect appearance.

Both conditions are noncancerous, but professional evaluation helps confirm diagnosis and determine the most effective removal method.

When to Seek Medical Removal

You should see a doctor for wart or skin tag removal if you experience:

  • Irritation, bleeding, or pain from a growth
  • Cosmetic concerns or visible growths on exposed skin
  • Rapid increase in size or number of warts or tags
  • Recurrence after home treatments
  • Uncertainty about whether a lesion is harmless or requires medical evaluation

How Westminster Removes Warts and Skin Tags

Our family physicians use gentle, sterile techniques performed under local anesthesia for comfort and safety:

  • Cryotherapy: Freezing the wart or skin tag using liquid nitrogen
  • Electrocautery: Cauterization to remove the growth and seal the skin surface
  • Surgical excision: Minor procedure for larger or recurrent lesions
  • Topical treatment: Application of medical-grade solutions for select warts
  • Aftercare guidance: Instructions to support healing and prevent recurrence

Each method is chosen based on the size, type, and location of the lesion to ensure optimal cosmetic and medical results.
