Warts are infectious growths caused by the Papilloma virus. They are painless and commonly seen as flat, raised or cauliflower like protruding mass of skin. Their size may vary from a barely visible speck in the early stages, to several centimetres in advanced stages. Commonly affected areas are hands, feet and face but any part of the body may be involved due to transfer of infection.

Corns are most commonly seen on the feet as hard, skin coloured lumps of dead skin. Large corns press on nerves and may become extremely painful.

Tags are brown, black or skin coloured growths usually seen on the neck and underarms. The tendency to develop tags commonly runs in families and has a hereditary pattern. Tags often get caught in neck ornaments or clothing causing severe pain and infection.
