Warts, Moles, Skin Tags appear on the skin. There are ways to control and get rid of them Naturally
A WART is a small, rough tumor, typically on hands and feet, but often on other locations
A wart can resemble a cauliflower or a solid blister. Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are contagious when in contact with the skin of an infected person.
It is also possible to get warts from objects used by an infected person, such as towels or other objects. Warts typically disappear after a few months, but can last for years and can recur.
There are approximately 100 strains of human papilloma viruses. Types 1, 2, and 3 cause most of the common warts.
Type 1 is associated with deep plantar (sole of the feet) and palmar warts (palm of the hand).
Type 2 are what cause common warts, filiform warts, plantar warts, mosaic plantar warts.
Type 3 cause plane warts, more commonly known as flat warts
MOLES. According to the American Academy of Dermatology,almost all moles appear during the first two decades of a persons life. About one in every 100 babies is born with moles.
Congenital moles are considered a minor malformation and may indicate a higher risk for melanoma. A mole can be either subdermal (under the skin) or a pigmented growth on the skin. These moles are formed of a type of cell known as a melanocyte.
The high concentration of the bodys pigmenting agent, melanin, is responsible for their dark color. Moles are a member of the family of skin lesions known as nevi.
In the 1950s and 60s (and, to lesser extent, currently) a facial mole was known as a “beauty mark” when it appeared in certain areas on a womans face. Examples include Marilyn Monroe, model Cindy Crawford, singer Madonna, and the fictional Ms. Pac-Man.
Madonna’s facial mole”below her right nostril”has been surgically removed. Almost everyone with light skin has at least one or two moles somewhere on their body. Large numbers can be concentrated on the back, chest, and arms. Darker skin shades, however, tend to have fewer moles.
SKIN TAGS. A Skin Tag, is a small benign tumor that forms primarily in areas where the skin forms creases. These include such areas as the neck, armpit, and groin.
Skin Tags can sometimes occur on the face, usually on the eyelids. Though larger have been seen, they range between the size of a grain of rice and a golf ball. The surface of a skin tag may be smooth or irregular in appearance. It is often raised from the surface of the skin on a stalk called a peduncle.
Since Skin Tags also contain nerve cells, they cannot be painlessly removed. Patients report that the removal of a skin tag is similar to a strong pinch on a sensitive area.
Skin tags are harmless. However, they are sometimes irritated by clothing or jewelry and may interfere with shaving and other routine grooming.
Why and how skin tags form is not entirely known, but there are correlations with age and obesity. They are also more common in people with diabetes mellitus and in pregnant women.
