Skin Tags

Skin tags are benign growths of the skin. They are soft, small and hang from a thread-like stalk or pedicel. Skin tags are made of fibrous tissue and can appear on any part of the body, but most commonly occur on the neck, armpits, groin and eyelids. They are harmless but are unsightly and sometimes get caught and cause discomfort.

Skin Tag Removals

Snip excision and electrocautery is a simple procedure we use involving numbing the treatment area with either anaesthetic cream or an injection, followed by snipping and electrocautery of the skin tags. There will be some scabbing for 7-10 days, and occasional post treatment pigmentation that is transient. Most patients recover with no scarring.
