What is Skin Tag & Wart Removal?
Skin tags, medically known as fibroepithelial polyps, are small, soft, benign growths that typically form where skin rubs against skin or clothing, such as the neck, underarms or eyelids. Warts, on the other hand, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) infecting the outer layer of skin, leading to rough, raised growths that can appear on hands, feet or other areas. Because these two growths have different underlying causes, they are assessed and, where needed, treated somewhat differently.
At Anucare, removal is typically performed using one of several precise techniques – electrocautery, cryotherapy or radiofrequency ablation – chosen based on the size, location and type of growth. Electrocautery uses controlled heat to remove the growth while simultaneously sealing the area to minimise bleeding. Cryotherapy uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy the tissue, commonly used for warts. Radiofrequency ablation uses high-frequency energy waves for particularly precise removal with very low scarring risk, often preferred for growths in visible or sensitive areas.
Because warts are viral in origin, they can occasionally recur or spread if not fully treated, which is why a proper diagnosis matters before treatment – not every skin growth is a wart or skin tag, and a dermatologist’s assessment helps rule out other skin conditions that may need different management. Skin tags, being non-viral, generally do not recur at the same site once removed, though new ones can form elsewhere over time due to friction or genetic predisposition.
At our Anna Nagar clinic, every Skin Tag & Wart Removal procedure is performed only after a detailed skin assessment by experienced dermatologists to confirm the growth type and select the most appropriate, lowest-scarring technique for its size and location.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a skin tag and a wart?
Skin tags are soft, non-viral growths that form from skin friction, while warts are caused by the HPV virus and tend to have a rougher, raised texture. This distinction matters because it affects both the removal technique used and the likelihood of recurrence.
How much does Skin Tag Removal cost in Chennai?
Skin Tag Removal in Chennai typically starts from ₹320 per growth at Anucare. The final cost depends on the number, size and location of growths, which your dermatologist will confirm during consultation.
How much does Wart Removal cost in Chennai?
Wart Removal in Chennai typically starts from ₹320 per growth at Anucare, though stubborn or larger warts may require additional sessions, affecting overall cost, which will be discussed during your consultation.
Does removal leave a scar?
When performed by an experienced professional using an appropriate technique for the growth’s size and location, scarring is generally minimal to none. Radiofrequency ablation in particular is known for its low scarring risk.
Can skin tags or warts come back after removal?
Skin tags generally do not recur at the same site once removed, though new ones can form elsewhere due to friction or genetic factors. Warts, being viral, can occasionally recur if the virus isn’t fully cleared, which is why proper technique matters.
Does the removal procedure hurt?
Local anaesthetic or numbing is typically used for larger growths, so most clients experience only mild discomfort. Smaller skin tags are often removed quickly with minimal to no sensation.
Is there downtime after removal?
Downtime is minimal – most clients resume normal activities the same day, with the treated area healing over 1 to 2 weeks depending on size and technique used.
Can I remove skin tags or warts at home?
Home removal is not recommended, as it carries risks of infection, scarring, incomplete removal or misdiagnosing a growth that may need proper medical evaluation. Professional removal ensures accurate diagnosis and safer technique.
Why choose Anucare for Skin Tag & Wart Removal in Chennai?
Every Skin Tag & Wart Removal procedure at our Anna Nagar clinic is performed only after a detailed skin assessment by experienced dermatologists, using the most appropriate technique for your growth’s type, size and location.
