• Warts are growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the body and come in different forms, such as common warts, plantar warts (on the feet), and genital warts
• Warts are typically non-cancerous but can be contagious and may cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns.

Electrocautery or Radiofrequency:

After mole or wart removal, patients may experience some redness and mild discomfort at the site. Healing usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks, with the formation of a scab that eventually falls off.

Skin Tags:

Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, benign growths that often appear on the skin. They are composed of collagen fibers, blood vessels, and sometimes fat cells. Skin tags are generally painless and do not pose any health risks. They are typically soft and flesh-colored, ranging in size from a few millimeters to a few centimeters.

It's essential to note that while some over-the-counter products claim to remove skin tags, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional before attempting any removal at home, especially for tags located in sensitive areas or if there are uncertainties about the diagnosis.
