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.
Medical terms your physician or dermatologist may use to describe a skin tag include fibroepithelial polyp, acrochordon, cutaneous papilloma, and soft fibroma. All of these terms describe skin tags and are benign (noncancerous), painless skin growths. Some people refer to these as skin tabs or warts.
