Should I See a Dermatologist for Skin Tags, Warts, and Verrucas?
When dealing with skin tags, warts, or verrucas, seeing a qualified dermatologist is the safest and most effective way to address the problem. Attempting DIY removal can lead to complications such as infection, scarring, or even the spread of the condition to other parts of your body. A trained dermatologist will be able to assess the growth and determine the most appropriate treatment.
With us, you can see an expert who will evaluate your condition, provide a clear treatment plan, and guide you through each step of the process.

- Accurate Diagnosis: A dermatologist can determine the exact type of skin growth you're dealing with, ensuring you get the most effective treatment.
- Safe Treatment Options: We use medically-approved techniques like cryotherapy and excision, which are performed in a controlled environment, reducing the risk of complications.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your treatment is in the hands of an experienced professional can alleviate stress and ensure a quicker recovery.
How We Can Help You
We provide quick, effective, and comfortable treatments for warts, verrucas, and skin tags. Based on your consultation, we’ll recommend the best treatment option for you.
We offer two primary treatments:
- Cryotherapy (Freezing): Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart or skin tag with liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off naturally. It’s a quick, virtually painless procedure that often requires no downtime.
- Excision (Cutting Out): For larger, more stubborn growths, excision involves carefully removing the skin tag, wart, or verruca. The area will be numbed beforehand to ensure a painless experience.
Your consultation with our professional consultant dermatologist will determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific skin issue, ensuring a safe and effective solution.

FAQs
Skin Tags
What are skin tags?
Skin tags are small, soft growths of skin that usually appear in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, or groin. They consist of collagen and blood vessels wrapped in a layer of skin.
What causes skin tags to form?
While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, skin tags are believed to be linked to factors such as the human papillomavirus (HPV), genetics, obesity, and skin friction (rubbing). They often develop in areas where skin rubs together.
Can I remove skin tags at home?
It is not advisable to attempt removing skin tags at home. Using scissors, nail clippers, or other tools can lead to infections, scarring, or bleeding. Always consult a healthcare professional for safe removal.
Do skin tags grow back after removal?
Once removed, skin tags do not regrow. However, if you’re prone to developing them, new skin tags may appear in different areas over time.
Does removing a skin tag hurt?
The removal process is generally quick and painless. Most professional methods, such as cryotherapy or cauterisation, are well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
How long does it take to heal after a skin tag removal?
Healing typically takes 7-10 days, with the skin returning to normal within a week or so.
Warts and Verrucas
What are warts and verrucas?
Warts and verrucas are both caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts can appear anywhere on the body, while verrucas typically form on the soles of the feet. Both are contagious, especially in moist environments./
What causes warts and verrucas?
Warts and verrucas are caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters through small cuts or breaks in the skin. They are contagious, and wet conditions like public swimming pools or changing rooms can increase the risk of transmission.
How can I treat verrucas?
Verrucas can often be treated with topical medications. In more severe cases, your doctor may recommend cryotherapy (freezing the verruca) or excision (cutting it out under sterile conditions).
What happens if I leave a verruca untreated?
In many cases, verrucas will eventually go away on their own as your immune system fights off the virus. However, they can persist for years, cause discomfort, or spread to other areas. Seeking treatment can help speed up the healing process and prevent further issues.
Why do verrucas turn black?
Verrucas may turn black when the blood supply is cut off, causing blood inside the wart to clot. This can be a sign that the verruca is dying or has been traumatised, especially if it’s been treated.
Should I pick, pull, or cut a wart or verruca?
No, you should never pick, pull, or attempt to cut a wart or verruca yourself. Doing so can spread the virus to other parts of your body and worsen the issue.
Will warts or verrucas come back after treatment?
Although treatment is generally effective, warts and verrucas can sometimes recur, especially if you’re prone to them. Cryotherapy or excision typically provides long-lasting results, but new ones may develop in the future.
General Skin Health
What is the best way to prevent skin tags, warts, or verrucas?
To prevent skin tags, avoid excessive friction in areas where skin rubs together. For warts and verrucas, avoid touching or scratching them, keep your skin dry, and wear protective footwear in public wet areas like swimming pools or gyms.
Can skin tags, warts, or verrucas be a sign of something more serious?
Skin tags, warts, and verrucas are usually harmless. However, if a skin tag changes in appearance or colour, or if a wart or verruca becomes painful or bleeding, you should seek medical advice to rule out other conditions/sp
