How can be skin tags treated?
Each patient is unique, hence we recommend you to kindly discuss your case personally with our experts.
As skin tags are usually harmless, people tend to have them removed for aesthetic or cosmetic reasons.
Sometimes large ones, especially in areas where they may rub against something, such as clothing, jewelry or skin, may be removed because the area becomes frequently irritated. An individual may have a large skin tag removed from his face or under her arms in order to make shaving easier.
The following procedures may be used to remove skin tags:
1.Cauterization – the skin tag is burned off using electrolysis (heat is used to remove them)
2.LASER – LASER can be done for effectively removing skin tags, warts, moles.
3.Excision – the skin tag is removed with a scalpel (it is cut out).
