What Are Skin Tags?

A skin tag is a common, soft, harmless growth that hangs off the skin. Typically, these growths develop in both men and women as they age. They may appear skin-colored or darker and range in size from 1mm to 5cm. For instance, you can often find them on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. Additionally, they sometimes grow on the eyelids or under the folds of the buttocks. Consequently, skin tags are most common in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing.

How Can Skin Tags Be Removed?

We offer several methods to remove skin tags for cosmetic reasons. Therefore, we recommend the following options:

• Cryotherapy (freezing): This method freezes the skin tag, causing it to fall off naturally within a few days.
• Surgical excision: Our team uses scissors or a scalpel to remove the skin tag quickly and precisely.
• Electrosurgery (diathermy): This technique uses electrical currents to safely eliminate the skin tag. For more details on electrosurgery, refer to the Mayo Clinic .
• Ligation: A suture is tied around the base of the skin tag, cutting off its blood supply so it falls off.

Each method ensures quick and comfortable removal, tailored to your specific needs. Furthermore, our team will help you choose the best option based on the size and location of the skin tag. For expert advice on skin tag removal, check out the Skin Cancer Foundation .
