Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags—medically known as acrochordons—are small, soft, benign growths that commonly appear on areas of the body where the skin experiences friction, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, chest, groin, and under the breasts. While harmless, skin tags can become irritated, cosmetically bothersome, or catch on clothing and jewelry.
KEY BENEFITS OF Skin Tag Removal
Skin tags are harmless, benign growths that often appear in areas where the skin folds. They commonly develop due to friction between skin surfaces, particularly in the neck, underarms, groin, and eyelids. Genetics can play a role, as they may run in families, while hormonal changes, such as those during pregnancy, can also increase their occurrence.
Other contributing factors include obesity and metabolic syndrome, which increase skin-to-skin friction, as well as aging, since skin tags are more frequent after the age of 40. They are also associated with insulin resistance and diabetes, making them more prevalent in individuals with metabolic concerns.

FAQ's
What are the treatment options for skin tag removal?
Treatment depends on the size, location, and number of skin tags. Options include:
Cryotherapy – Freezing with liquid nitrogen, causing the tag to fall off naturally.
Electrocautery – Burning off the tag with controlled heat, ideal for small to medium tags.
Radiofrequency or Laser Ablation – Advanced, precise removal with minimal scarring and downtime.
Surgical Excision – A quick snip-off under sterile conditions, usually requiring no stitches.
What can I expect during the procedure?
The dermatologist first confirms that the lesion is a benign skin tag. Depending on the number of tags, the procedure usually takes 15–30 minutes. Local anesthesia or topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal to none. Some patients may experience mild redness, scabbing, or small crusts, which heal naturally within 7–10 days.
What aftercare is needed?
After treatment, the area should be kept clean and dry. Avoid scratching or picking at the site, and apply prescribed ointment if recommended. Protect the area from sun exposure until it is fully healed.
What results should I expect?
Most patients notice an immediate improvement in appearance. The skin heals smoothly with little to no scarring. While recurrence at the same site is rare, new skin tags may develop over time.
