What is a Skin Tag?
Skin tags are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin by a thin stalk. They are non-cancerous and typically painless, though they can become irritated when rubbed by clothing or jewelry. Most commonly found on the neck, eyelids, underarms, groin, or under the breasts, skin tags are usually the result of friction or hormonal changes. They are more common in adults, particularly those who are overweight or have diabetes.
While they don’t pose a medical threat, many choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or comfort. At HALOS, we offer safe, scar-free removal using advanced dermatological tools. The procedure is quick, requiring little to no downtime.
What is a Wart?
Warts are rough, raised bumps on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Unlike skin tags, warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact or shared surfaces like towels and floors. They often appear on the hands, feet (plantar warts), knees, or face, and may be singular or occur in clusters.
Warts can be painful, especially those located on pressure points like the soles of the feet. There are several types of warts, each with a different texture and growth pattern. At HALOS, we use methods like cryotherapy, laser treatment, or electrocautery to remove warts effectively. Our goal is complete removal with minimal recurrence.
What is a Skin Allergy?
Skin allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to certain substances (allergens), leading to visible irritation. Common allergens include cosmetics, fragrances, metals (like nickel), food ingredients, dust mites, and certain fabrics. Allergic reactions can show up as red patches, itching, swelling, hives, or peeling skin, and may vary from mild to severe. Conditions like contact dermatitis and eczema fall under this category.
At HALOS, we begin with diagnostic testing—such as patch testing—to identify the specific allergen responsible. Once diagnosed, we create a personalized treatment and prevention plan to help reduce flare-ups and restore your skin’s natural barrier.
- Skin tags: non-cancerous, soft, and painless
- Warts: caused by human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Allergies: immune response causing visible skin symptoms
- Accurate diagnosis ensures targeted treatment
- Common in high-friction or exposed areas
- Can affect both children and adults
How We Treat Skin Tags and Warts at HALOS
Removing skin tags and warts safely is an art—and at HALOS, we do it with precision and care. We use proven medical techniques like radiofrequency ablation, electrocautery, cryotherapy, and laser removal, depending on the size, location, and number of growths. These in-clinic procedures are quick, virtually painless, and designed to minimize scarring and recurrence.
Our dermatologist carefully assesses the skin before any procedure to rule out unusual or suspicious lesions. Once approved, the removal is completed in a clean, sterile setting with minimal downtime. Most clients return to normal activities the same day. For warts, we may recommend multiple sessions if the growth is deep-rooted or resistant. We also educate you on post-removal care to ensure smooth, scar-free healing.

Understanding and Managing Skin Allergies
Skin allergies can be unpredictable and distressing, often flaring up suddenly with itching, redness, or swelling. At HALOS, we take a comprehensive approach to allergy treatment—starting with patch testing and skin sensitivity analysis. This helps us identify triggers such as fragrances, cosmetics, metals, fabrics, or even foods that may be affecting your skin.
Once we pinpoint the allergens, we build a treatment and prevention plan. This includes anti-allergy medications, barrier creams, lifestyle modifications, and long-term skincare advice. Our aim is to reduce dependence on steroid creams and bring lasting relief. Whether you’re struggling with contact dermatitis, eczema, or unexplained rashes, we offer expert solutions tailored to your skin’s unique needs.
- Patch testing to identify allergic triggers
- Topical and oral treatments for symptom relief
- Barrier repair therapy for long-term control
- Avoidance education and lifestyle guidance
- Non-steroidal options to minimize side effects
- Regular reviews for chronic allergy sufferers
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Your comfort is our priority. During your visit, Dr. Prasanthi and the HALOS team will begin with a careful evaluation, discussing the history, severity, and duration of your skin concern. If removal is required, we prepare the skin with numbing techniques and explain the process in detail. Most removals take under 30 minutes, and you can return to your routine immediately afterward.
For allergies, we’ll ask about personal habits, skincare routines, and recent exposures to potential irritants. The goal is to create a full skin health profile that helps us make informed treatment decisions. After treatment, you’ll receive personalized post-care instructions, including what products to use, avoid, and how to monitor your skin. We’re always here for follow-ups and guidance.

Frequently asked questions
Skin tags are completely benign growths and do not turn into cancer. They are harmless and usually don’t cause pain or health complications. However, if a growth changes in color, size, or becomes painful, it’s important to get it checked by a dermatologist to rule out other conditions. At HALOS, we ensure every growth is carefully evaluated before treatment.
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact or by touching contaminated surfaces like towels or floors. To prevent recurrence, avoid picking at warts, maintain good hygiene, and keep your skin dry, especially on your hands and feet. Our treatments at HALOS also focus on completely removing the wart tissue to reduce the chance of it coming back.
Common triggers include certain cosmetics, fragrances, metals like nickel, detergents, dust mites, and specific foods. Sometimes even stress or environmental factors like pollution can worsen skin allergies. Identifying your personal triggers through allergy testing is essential. At HALOS, we offer patch tests and personalized guidance on lifestyle and skincare changes to help you avoid flare-ups effectively.
Most removal procedures for skin tags and warts are quick and involve minimal discomfort. We use local numbing or painless techniques such as cryotherapy or radiofrequency to ensure your comfort during treatment. Recovery time is usually short—often just a few days—with minimal scarring or downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities quickly.
Skin allergies often present as redness, itching, swelling, or rash shortly after exposure to an allergen. However, other conditions like fungal infections, eczema, or psoriasis can look similar. Proper diagnosis is critical and often requires a detailed history, clinical examination, and sometimes allergy or patch testing. At HALOS, we provide comprehensive evaluations to accurately identify and treat your specific skin condition.
