Understanding Warts & Skin Tags

Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and may appear on the hands, feet, or face. Skin tags are benign growths that often occur on the neck, armpits, or eyelids. While usually harmless, both can become irritated, grow larger, or cause embarrassment—making professional removal a simple solution.
