Moles, Warts, Skin Tags Details
Causes of Moles
Moles are primarily caused by an overgrowth of melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This overgrowth usually occurs due to genetic factors and sun exposure, although hormonal changes during puberty and pregnancy can also contribute to their formation.
Causes of Warts
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which infects the top layer of skin, often entering through a small cut or scratch. HPV has many strains, some of which cause common warts, while others cause genital warts. Transmission can occur through direct contact with an infected person or indirectly through contaminated objects.
Causes of Skin Tags
Skin tags are thought to occur due to friction between skin rubbing against skin or clothing. This friction can lead to the development of small, benign growths of collagen and blood vessels. While the exact cause is not fully understood, factors such as obesity, hormonal changes during pregnancy, and genetics may also play a role in their formation.
