Skin tags, warts and verrucae are common skin growths that many people develop. While they are usually harmless, they can become bothersome, uncomfortable or affect confidence, particularly when they appear on visible areas such as the face, neck or hands. At Umi Clinic, we provide professional assessment and treatment options for suitable benign skin lesions in a safe and clinical environment.
Our approach begins with accurate assessment to ensure the correct diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment is recommended for your individual skin concern.

Small Skin Growths That Can Be Easily Treated
Skin tags (also known as acrochordons) are small, soft growths of skin that commonly appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing.
Common locations include:
- Neck
- Underarms
- Eyelids
- Groin area
- Anal and Vaginal area
- Under the breasts
Although skin tags are usually harmless, patients often choose removal if they:
- Catch on clothing or jewellery
- Become irritated
- Bleed after repeated rubbing
- Affect confidence
Wart Removal
Treatment for Common Viral Skin Growths
Warts are small skin growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on different areas of the body and vary in appearance.
Warts may be:
- Raised or rough in texture
- Located on the hands, fingers or other areas
- A source of discomfort or self-consciousness
A consultation allows us to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options.
Verruca Removal
Specialist Assessment of Foot Warts
Verrucae are warts that commonly appear on the soles of the feet. Because they are exposed to pressure when walking, they can sometimes become painful or uncomfortable.
Patients may seek treatment if a verruca:
- Causes pain when walking
- Persists despite home treatments
- Spreads or changes
- Affects daily activities
