Describing Skin Tags

Skin tags are small overgrowths of skin that most often develop in areas where skin or clothing causes friction, such as the underarms, neck, groin, or under the breasts. However, they can appear anywhere on the body, including delicate areas like the eyelids. Composed of skin fibers, nerve cells, and fat cells, skin tags resemble small tissue flaps protruding from the skin. They are typically asymptomatic and benign.

Common Removal Options For Skin Tags

The most common treatment for smaller skin tags is cryotherapy, or liquid nitrogen application. During cryotherapy, our experts “freeze” the skin tags, which will then fall off on their own over time. For more stubborn skin tags, additional cryotherapy sessions may be needed. Another frequent treatment is scissor removal, where our professionals use sterile surgical scissors to clip the tags at the base. For larger skin tags, a numbing agent may be applied to minimize discomfort during removal. Skin tags may regrow, so retreatment can sometimes be necessary. Unfortunately, skin tag removal is not covered by insurance.
