Answered by Dr. Dr. Kakkar (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
I suggest a possibility of either Skin tags Or Viral warts

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I have gone through your query and I have also reviewed the Images

These look like either Skin tags Or Viral warts to me.

The best way to treat is to get rid of these surgically, either by Electrocautery or Co 2 Laser.

I suggest you to visit a dermatologist in your region for the procedure.

Regards

Is there any kind of ointment that can be used to stop and get rid of it, ive had it before and it went away with an oinment or cream that was given to me by a Dermatologist, is there any product that can be bought from the local pharmarcy that i can apply?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Kakkar (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Surgical removal is advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

I really doubt that these would go away completely with just an ointment.
Probably that is the reason that they have recurred.
Ideally they should be removed with either cautery or CO2 Laser.

Regards
