Understanding Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, benign growths of loose collagen and blood vessels that appear on the skin's surface. They are typically painless but can be aesthetically bothersome, especially when located on visible areas like the face, neck, or underarms. Skin tags are harmless and non-cancerous; however, some people may choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or if they catch on clothing or jewelry, causing irritation.
Here's what you need to know about skin tags:
What are they? Skin tags are made of collagen and blood vessels with a thin layer of skin. They typically hang off the skin by a small stalk.
Where do they show up? Friction is a common theme! Skin tags often appear in areas where skin rubs together, like the neck, armpits, groin, and under the breasts.
Are they dangerous? Not at all! Skin tags are benign, meaning they're not cancerous and pose no health risk.
Can they be removed? Absolutely! If a skin tag bothers you cosmetically or gets irritated by clothing, a dermatologist can easily remove it with a simple procedure.

Treatment Options
Dr. Ahmad Clinics offers a comprehensive range of skin tag removal treatments to effectively address your specific concerns. Here's a detailed explanation of each method:
CAUTERIZATION
Cauterization utilizes a small, heated instrument to precisely burn and vaporize the skin tag tissue. This technique is quick and efficient, with minimal bleeding. However, it's important to note that cauterization may leave a slight scar and is not recommended for sensitive areas like the eyelids due to the risk of thermal damage.
LASER TREATMENT
Laser treatment offers a precise and effective approach to skin tag removal. A focused laser beam specifically targets and destroys the skin tag tissue while minimizing thermal damage to surrounding areas. This method is well-suited for most skin types and carries a low risk of scarring. Depending on the size and number of skin tags, multiple sessions may be necessary for optimal results.
CRYOSURGERY
Cryosurgery involves freezing the skin tag with liquid nitrogen. This extreme cold temperature destroys the tissue, causing the skin tag to die and naturally fall off within a few weeks. Cryosurgery is a minimally invasive option with minimal scarring risk; however, it may require multiple sessions for larger skin tags. Additionally, temporary blistering or redness at the treated area is a common side effect that typically resolves on its own.
SURGICAL EXCISION
Surgical excision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure ideal for larger or pedunculated (stalked) skin tags. It involves using a scalpel or surgical scissors to carefully remove the skin tag. Local anesthesia is typically administered for patient comfort. While surgical excision offers complete removal, it may leave a small scar.

FAQ'S
What causes skin tags to form?
Skin tags are usually harmless and occur randomly. But factors that may increase risk include obesity, pregnancy, aging, rubbing of skin folds, family history, and diseases like diabetes. The growths form from skin cells and collagen bundling together.
How can I get a skin tag removed safely and effectively?
Getting skin tags removed by a doctor is recommended for larger, painful, bleeding, or suspicious looking tags. Common medical procedures include cryotherapy freezing, surgical excision cutting, and electrodessication burning. These are typically fast with minimal scarring.
What are the different treatment options for skin tags?
In addition to at-home removal methods and doctor procedures, other skin tag treatments include prescription creams like retinoids, using tea tree oil, applying apple cider vinegar, tying off tags with dental floss, and burning off with electric cauterizing tools.
