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.
Normally, HPV infections start in the deepest layers of the skin. During an infection, HPV causes skin cells to divide more than usual. New virus particles are then made inside these cells. This fast skin growth can cause warts, including genital warts, to develop, but often it doesnât cause any symptoms at all.
