Best Skin Tag Removal Treatment Available

Skin tags are fleshy skin growths that are usually the same colour as your skin; they look like a small piece of skin on a stem and vary in size from 1-5 millimetres, although they can grow as big as a few centimetres.

Skin tags are harmless, but they can be irritating and cause discomfort; they typically appear in places where skin tends to have folds, such as underarms, under the breasts, groin, face, neck and eyelids.

They are relatively common, and about half of adults will develop at least one skin tag in their lifetime. Your chances of developing skin tags are higher if you have a family history of skin tags, are overweight, diabetic, and during times of growth such as pregnancy. In addition, the risk of developing skin tags rises with age.

If your skin tags bother you, do not try to cut them off yourself, as this may lead to pain, bleeding, skin damage and infection; instead, visit our clinic; our experienced medical experts will be delighted to remove your skin tags in a quick and painless procedure.

Depending on the size and location of the skin tags, the doctor may use one of these removal methods:

• Cryotherapy - also known as freezing, the doctor will freeze the skin tag using liquid nitrogen until it falls off on its own.
• Electrocautery - using electric current, the skin tag is burnt off.
• Surgical excision - is best suited for more extensive skin tags in hard-to-reach places.
• Laser therapy - the latest in skin tag removal methods involves a light beam to burn off the skin tag.

Seeking the help of an experienced medical professional to remove your skin tags lowers the risk of complications, infections and scarring.
