Papilloma is a type of non-cancerous (benign) skin growth that occurs due to abnormal cell growth, usually triggered by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While typically harmless, they can grow in size or cause cosmetic concern depending on their location. Many people choose to remove them for aesthetic or hygiene reasons.

Common Areas:
    •    Neck
    •    Eyelids
    •    Armpits
    •    Chest
    •    Groin
    •    Genitals

Causes:
    •    Infection with HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
    •    Friction in moist skin areas
    •    Weak immune system
    •    Hormonal imbalance
    •    Poor skin hygiene

Symptoms:
    •    Small, soft, flesh-colored or darker bumps
    •    Often appear in clusters
    •    Painless but may irritate with friction
    •    Not itchy or contagious

Treatment Options:
    •    Laser removal
    •    Cryotherapy (freezing)
    •    Electrocautery (burning technique)
    •    Surgical excision
    •    Topical antiviral creams

Early treatment ensures the growth doesn’t spread or become irritated.
