Frequently Asked Questions.

Do I need a GP referral for skin tag or wart removal?

No. You can book directly with one of our Consultant Dermatologists at our Manchester, Liverpool or Newton-le-Willows clinics — no GP referral is required.

Are skin tags and warts the same thing?

No. Skin tags (acrochordons) are harmless growths of extra skin and connective tissue, usually caused by friction, genetics, hormones or age, and they are not contagious. Warts, on the other hand, are caused by strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are contagious, spreading through direct or indirect skin contact.

Are warts contagious?

Yes. Warts can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, indirectly via shared items like towels or razors, or by touching a wart and then another part of your own body. Not everyone exposed to HPV develops a wart, as this depends on factors like immune system strength.

What causes skin tags to develop?

Skin tags commonly form due to friction (skin rubbing against skin or clothing), genetics, hormonal changes such as pregnancy, metabolic conditions like insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, and simply getting older, as they tend to appear more after age 40.

Is it safe to remove a skin tag or wart myself at home?

We'd always recommend having any lump, growth or lesion properly assessed by a dermatologist before considering removal. Self-treatment can lead to infection, scarring, or missing an underlying condition that needs a different type of care.

What other skin lesions can be assessed at Pall Mall Medical?

Alongside skin tags and warts, our Consultant Dermatologists assess and treat cysts and other benign lesions — any unwanted lumps, bumps or growths that need a specialist opinion.

How much does private skin tag, wart or lesion removal cost?

Pricing starts from £760 for removal and sampling of up to 3 lesions, £920 for up to 4, and £1,025 for up to 5. Your dermatologist will confirm the exact cost after assessing the size, type and number of lesions during your consultation. Your treatment cost depends on the type, size and number of lesions being treated. You'll first have a consultation with a dermatologist, who will assess the area and explain the recommended treatment and cost before proceeding.

Where are your dermatology clinics located?

We have dermatology clinics in Manchester City Centre, Liverpool City Centre and Newton-le-Willows.

Will removing a skin tag or wart leave a scar?

Scarring risk depends on the size, location and type of lesion, plus the removal method used. Your dermatologist will talk you through this and give tailored aftercare advice to support healing during your consultation.
