What Are Skin Warts and Papillomas?

🔹 Skin Warts

• Caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

• Typically rough, hard growths on hands, feet, fingers, or knees

• Contagious through skin contact or shared surfaces

• Can appear singly or in clusters (especially plantar warts on the soles)

Skin Papillomas (Acrochordons or Skin Tags)

• Soft, flesh-colored or slightly pigmented outgrowths

• Usually non-contagious and benign

• Common on neck, armpits, eyelids, groin, or under the breast

• More common with age, obesity, diabetes, or friction-prone skin

While both conditions are benign, they may be uncomfortable, itchy, or cosmetically undesirable. In some cases, they may bleed or become infected if irritated.

Why Remove Warts or Papillomas?

Although they are not harmful, people often seek removal for:

• Cosmetic reasons (especially on the face or neck)

• Irritation from clothing or jewelry

• Discomfort during shaving or movement

• Prevention of spread or recurrence

• Personal hygiene and confidence

If left untreated, some warts can spread to other areas or to other people, especially in communal spaces like gyms or pools.

What Causes Warts and Papillomas?

Warts:

• Caused by HPV infection

• Can be spread via direct contact with infected skin or surfaces

• Risk increases with low immunity, cuts, or scratches

Papillomas:

• Caused by skin friction, genetics, hormonal changes

• Common in overweight individuals or those with diabetes

• Not caused by HPV in most cases
