For Those Concerned About Warts or Skin Tags
Are you concerned about small skin protrusions, about 1–2 mm in size, appearing around the neck, chest, underarms, or trunk? If they catch on clothing or accessories, affect your appearance, or seem to be gradually increasing in number, they may be benign skin lesions such as skin tags.
However, even if they look similar, they may be viral warts, moles, or other skin conditions. Therefore, it is important to have them properly evaluated.
At Sakura Clinic Dermatology, a dermatologist will examine the type, size, location, and condition of the lesion and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
Symptoms That Require Medical Attention
If you experience any of the following, please consult a dermatologist rather than treating it on your own.
- The lesion has suddenly become larger
- The color has become darker or uneven
- It is bleeding or ulcerated
- There is pain or severe itching
- The number of lesions has increased over a short period of time
- It has become inflamed after catching on clothing or accessories
- You are unsure whether it is a wart or a skin tag
