Skin Tag and Wart Removal
Unwanted Skin Growths? We Can Help.
Skin tags and warts are common growths on the skin that can appear in almost any area of the body. While they are typically harmless, they can become bothersome, catch on clothing or jewelry, affect confidence, or simply be something you’d rather not have.
At EMAN AESTHETICS, we offer safe and effective treatment options to remove unwanted skin tags and warts with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are soft, small, flesh-toned growths that commonly develop in areas where the skin is rubbing against skin or clothing.
They are completely benign and are often found on:
- Neck
- Eyelids
- Underarms
- Under the breasts
- Skin folds
- Groin area
Skin tags may increase with age and are more common in individuals with friction-prone areas of the body.
What Are Warts?
Warts are small growths on the skin caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the body and may vary in size, shape, and texture.
Common types include:
Common Warts
Typically occurs on the fingers and hands.
Plantar Warts
Develop on the soles of the feet and can cause pain when walking.
Flat Warts
Smaller and smoother, these warts may often occur on the face, legs, or arms.
Filiform Warts
Thread-like growths commonly found around the eyes, nose, or mouth.
Because warts are caused by a virus, if not treated, they can spread to parts of the body.
Skin Tags vs. Warts
Although they may appear similar, skin tags and warts are very different.
Skin Tags
- Soft and smooth
- Usually flesh-colored
- Not contagious
- Often occur in areas of friction
Warts
- Often rough or textured
- Caused by HPV
- Can spread to other areas
- May continue to grow over time
A professional evaluation can help determine the correct diagnosis and treatment approach.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Tag & Warts
How can I tell if I have a skin tag or a wart?
While they might appear similar at first glance, skin tags and warts are distinct. Skin tags are soft, smooth growths that usually match your skin tone and commonly develop where skin rubs against skin or clothing. Warts tend to have a rougher surface and are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Because other skin conditions can resemble both, a professional evaluation is the best way to determine exactly what type of growth you have.
Should I remove a skin tag or wart at home?
Home remedies and over-the-counter products may seem convenient, but attempting to remove growths yourself can increase the risk of bleeding, infection, scarring, or removing the wrong type of lesion. Some skin growths require a completely different treatment approach than others. Having the area professionally evaluated helps ensure an accurate diagnosis and allows the safest, most appropriate treatment to be selected for your individual situation.
Why do skin tags and warts develop?
Skin tags often develop in areas where friction occurs, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin, or beneath the breasts. They become more common with age and may also be influenced by genetics or body changes. Warts develop differently because they are caused by infection with certain strains of HPV. The virus enters through tiny breaks in the skin, allowing the wart to form gradually over time.
Are skin tags and warts dangerous?
In most cases, both skin tags and common warts are harmless. Skin tags are benign growths that are not contagious, while most common warts are noncancerous but can spread to other parts of the body or to other people through direct contact. Even though these lesions are usually not serious, any new, changing, painful, or unusual skin growth should be evaluated to confirm the diagnosis before treatment begins.
Will my skin tag or wart come back after treatment?
Successfully treated skin tags generally do not return in the exact same location, although new skin tags may develop elsewhere over time, especially in areas prone to friction. Warts can sometimes recur because the virus responsible for them may remain in nearby skin cells even after the visible growth has been removed. Your provider will discuss the likelihood of recurrence based on the type of lesion being treated and recommend appropriate follow-up if needed.
What can I expect after skin tag or wart removal?
Recovery depends on the treatment method used, the size of the lesion, and its location. Most patients experience only mild, temporary redness, tenderness, or the formation of a small healing area that gradually improves over several days. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and help minimize the risk of irritation while the treated skin recovers.
How do I know which removal method is right for me?
The best treatment depends on several factors, including whether the growth is a skin tag or wart, its size, depth, location, and how many lesions are present. Cryotherapy, precision lesion removal, laser treatment, or combination approaches may all be appropriate depending on your individual needs. During your consultation, your provider will carefully examine the lesion and recommend the treatment that offers the safest and most effective outcome for your skin.
