What Is Papilloma?
5. Skin Tags
Skin tags are perhaps among the most common type of papilloma. They are small growths that tend to appear on the neck, on the armpits, and around the eyes and ears. They tend to remain quite small, not usually growing any larger than a few millimeters across.
If a skin tag is bleeding excessively then it can be a sign it is cancerous. However, a skin tag’s position can mean that it is caught on clothing and/or scratched by the patient’s nails and this can also cause them to bleed. They are easily removed with non-invasive surgery and the procedure should only take a few minutes for each one.
