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.
The virus that causes warts, and then recurring warts, is called human papilloma virus or HPV. It enters the skin through very small cuts or wounds. Once in the skin, it may be destroyed by a strong immune system but if you are immune deficient for any reason, the virus can get a foothold.
