Delve into the real cause of warts, skin tags, etc. and learn how we can easily remove them if they’re bothering you ….
Witch trials would take the very physical appearance of the accused into account. Not only was the outward appearance of an accused witch judged, but so was the entirety of their body. Accused witches would be stripped and searched for any sign of abnormality on their skin, which became known as witches’ marks, witches’ teats, devil marks, and suck spots. If one of these marks was found on the accused, the proof of demonic influence was evident, and they were convicted of the crime of witchcraft.
Witches’ teats could have been anything from skin tags, moles, warts, an actual third nipple, or even something that would be diagnosed today as a melanoma. Any unexpected or unexplained piece of skin on the body could have been passed off as a witches’ teat.
Thank goodness for education. Read on to delve into the real cause of warts, skin tags, etc. and learn how we can easily remove them if they’re bothering you …
The NHS defines warts as small lumps that can develop on the skin of the hands and feet. (Though not limited to these areas)
Warts are caused by an infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus causes an excess amount of keratin, a hard protein, to develop in the top skin layer. This extra keratin produces the rough, hard texture of a wart.
Warts can be caught by close skin-to-skin contact but aren’t considered to be contagious. You are more likely to get infected if your skin is wet or damaged.
The NHS defines moles as small-coloured spots on the skin. They’re nothing to worry about unless they change size, shape or colour. Moles can come in all different shapes and sizes and can fade, disappear or new ones can form.
Moles can also be a sign of melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
It is important to check your moles to spot early signs of melanoma. Read our blog post here on how to do this. We are trained in mole removal but will always ask you to speak to your GP if we have any concerns before undertaking treatment.
The NHS defines skin tags as small, soft, skin-coloured growths on your skin. They can vary in colour and size – from a few millimetres up to 5cm wide.
These are found on the neck, armpits, under the groin or under the breasts.
