Built in 1982 and expanded in 1991, Markvilleâs name is derived from a combination of the names Markham and Unionville, communities that were considered less than cosmopolitan three decades ago.
Warts tend to be rougher, with a âwartyâ irregular surface whereas skin tags are usually smooth. Warts tend to be flat whereas tags are more like bumps hanging from thin stalk. While warts are almost entirely caused by human papilloma virus (HPV), tags are only sometimes associated with HPV.
HPV transmitted by sexual contact often doesnât become active enough to cause symptoms. When it does become active, it tends to invade mucous membranes, such as those covering the lining of the vagina, cervix, anus, mouth, tongue, and throat. An HPV infection can cause warts in and around these tissues.
