Skin tags and warts are common concerns that many patients want removed because they rub against clothing, catch on jewellery, or feel uncomfortable cosmetically. A proper doctor check is important before removal so the growth can be identified correctly.
Depending on the type, size, and location of the growth, removal may be planned using methods such as cautery, radiofrequency, or laser. The aim is safe removal with simple healing and clear aftercare.
