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.
Even though they are both skin growths, there is one major difference. A skin tag will grow out from the surface of the skin. A genital wart, on the other hand, will not. Warts lay more or less flat on the surface of the skin, or they can look like a raised bump. A skin tag has what is called a stalk, or a trunk. Except for the stalk, a skin tag is raised from the surface of the skin.
