What is Warts, Tags & moles ?

Warts, skin tags, and moles are common skin growths that can vary in appearance, location, and cause. Warts are rough, small growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are often found on the hands, feet, or face. Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that usually develop in areas where skin rubs against skin, like the neck or armpits.
Moles are pigmented skin cells that appear as brown, black, or skin-coloured spots or bumps. While most of these growths are harmless, some moles can change over time, potentially indicating skin cancer.
