Your Guide to Skin Tags
As we grow older, different growths and spots start coming out of skin. Skin tags are one such product of aging. The exact cause of skin tags is not known. They are also known as Acrochordons.
How Do They Look?
Skin tags look like small growths hanging with a stalk. These fleshy bumps are ugly in appearance and cause more of mental discomfort than physical.
Where Do They Appear?
Skin tags appear at different places such as neckline, below the breasts, underarms, and groin. They may also appear at different sites on the body.
Size:
They normally form in cluster of small tags of about 0.1 cm to big ones measuring up to 1 cm.
Warts-
All About Warts
Warts are skin growths that appear on any part of the body. This growth is non-cancerous and caused by a family of virus known as human papilloma virus (HPV). Despite common belief, warts do not have a root. They grow on the epidermis. Warts are skin-colored most of the times and rough in feel. Some warts may be dark in color and smooth to touch. Warts may grow individually or in a bunch. The virus spreads from one area of the skin to another and also from one person to another. Although warts may be left alone and may disappear after some months or years, most of the people get them treated because they affect the appearance. Also if they are not treated, instead of disappearing, sometimes they may grow in number. Let us discuss about the types of warts and their treatments.

Warts are generally hard and have a rough surface on the top and skin tags are soft and generally when forming feel more like a pimple and even after being there a while are very soft.
They can bleed a lot sometimes like warts do if you mess around with them. I have never had a wart that was so sensitive to the touch and painful like a skin tag is when forming either.
