Hello,
Thank you for the query,
I understood your problem however it would be good if you can answer few of my queries,as I have my doubts that the lesion you have are not warts but skin tags.
1) Is the lesion soft to touch or is it rough and warty?
2) Is the lesion pedunculated (does it have a thin stalk) ?
3) Is the lesion skin colored and dome shaped ?
Skin tags are more common at your age and around the eyes .At times they tend to increase in number ,even though they are neither contagious nor infectious.
But if you are sure that it is warts (if diagnosed by a dermatologist) ,then you should immediately get it removed with the help of electro-cuatry.Warts are infectious and tend to increase in number.
If you can send me a close picture of the lesion then it would help me differentiate from the two.You have a feature to upload the reports / image by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that .
If you can reply me with the answers and the pictures, I would be able to suggest you better.
Awaiting for your reply.
Regards,
Dr.Bharat chawda

Hi,
Thank you for the reply,
If it is a skin tag the answer is removal the lesion with the help of an Electro cautery or Radiofrequency device .One can also go for Lasers for the same, but it would come out to be costly with no added advantage as compared to the previous two.
The most important thing is that you should get this done from a dermatologist only. The procedure is very simple and very effective.
Unfortunately, there are no specific medications for the skin tags.
I would advise you to consult a dermatologist who has these machines and expertise to do so .Kindly also tell your doctor that you are on ecosprin, which is a blood thinner. It is advisable to stop this 2 days prior to the removal since it leads to excess bleeding during the procedure, rest as your doctor advises.
I thank you again for submitting your question. I hope you found my response to be helpful and informative. If you have any additional concerns, I would be happy to address them.
