Skin Tags Treatment

What Are Skin Tags? 

Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, soft growths that typically occur in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They are usually painless and are more common in adults. While they are generally benign, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic or comfort reasons.

For larger skin tags or those in sensitive areas, it’s advisable to seek our dermatologists help. They can asses the skin tag and remove it with the help of a scalpel or scissors. This is a quick and effective method that usually doesn’t require stitches.

Treatment options for larger skin tags

Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy, which involves freezing the skin tag with liquid nitrogen, is another option. This method is often performed by a dermatologist and is safe and efficient.

Electrocautery: Electrocautery uses an electrical current to burn off the skin tag. This method is typically administered by a dermatologist and is suitable for larger tags.

Laser Removal: Laser removal is a precise and efficient method that is best performed by a dermatologist. It uses a laser to break down the tag tissue, causing it to fall off.

If you are concerned about your skin tags schedule an appointment with our dermatologist who can guide you after assessing your skin tag.
