Some people never notice skin tags but they can become cosmetic concern if they are on your face, close to eyelids or visible area of neck. They also become troublesome if they interfere with shaving or wearing jewellery.

  • How they can be managed?

Skin tags look alarming but they are not cancerous and pose no threat to your health. They are many options available to remove skin tags  but you are advised to see a dermatologist and not to try any self treatment as they can lead to bleeding or infection.

You have a choice to get them removed or not as they are just additional skin tissue. Most people get it removed because of aesthetic concerns.And your dermatologist can suggest following treatment options:

  • Cryosurgery: dermatologist uses nitrogen oxide to freeze the skin tag.once it is frozen it falls with ten days to four weeks automatically.

  • Cauterization: skin tags are burned using electrolysis. And then skin sealed to avoid any bleeding or infection.

  • Excision: a sterlized scalpel is used to cut and remove the skin tags in dermatologist clinic itself.

  • Ligation: thin thread is tied at the neck of the skin tag which hinders blood supply to the skin tag. The skin tag dries and fell off.
