Skin Tag
Are you looking into skin tag removal?
Skin tags are flesh-coloured growths (usually under 0.5cm in size) that protrude from the surface of the skin.
Skin tags, prevalent and typically benign, prompt many individuals to pursue their removal for aesthetic reasons. Curvz, located in Sanctuary Cove, specialises in cosmetic removal of skin tags. Should you experience any concerning signs, like bleeding, quick growth, or discomfort from a skin tag, it’s advisable to first consult with your GP.
WHAT CAUSES SKIN TAGS?
Skin tags typically are caused by skin friction so are most commonly seen where the skin folds or where clothing items frequently rub against the skin. Most commonly on the neck, underarm, under breast/ bra strap area or in groin area. Skin tags can be hereditary, and people who have type 2 diabetes or are overweight are at increased risk of getting them. Some people can also develop them in areas where there is no skin friction e.g. around the eyes, for no apparent reason.
HOW TO REMOVE SKIN TAGS?
While home remedies are available, however their efficacy is anecdotal and not supported by data, in some instances can cause irritation, allergic reactions or permanent scarring. For this reason we recommend in-clinic Skin tag removal treatment.
Our skin tag removal treatments are performed by an experienced doctor by either:
- Electrocautery- an electric probe or needle is used to burn off the skin tag.
- Surgical snipping- using a scalpel, this is used for larger skin tags.
- Cryotherapy
How is it removed?
The skin tag removal process is fairly simple.
Our doctor at our Sanctuary Cove clinic will examine the skin tag to determine if it is safe to remove. They will then use local anaesthetic to numb the area and then surgically remove it using a scalpel or burn it away using Electrocautery.
DOES THIS PROCEDURE LEAVE A SCAR?
Scar from skintag removal is generally very minimal and barely visible. Your scar will generally look far less noticeable than the tag itself.
IS IT SAFE TO REMOVE A SKIN TAG?
We will inspect your skin tag before attempting to remove it. We won’t perform a removal procedure if we don’t deem it safe to do so.
