Symptoms

Treatments 

❋ Radio frequency Ablation

Uses controlled heat to remove the skin tag.
Quick, precise, and minimally invasive.
Promotes faster healing with minimal scarring.

❋ Laser Cautery

Laser energy cuts and seals the skin tag simultaneously.
Minimizes bleeding and infection risk.
Ideal for multiple or small skin tags.

❋ Surgical Ligation

The stalk is tied off to cut blood supply to the skin tag. Causes the growth to fall off naturally. Used for larger or pedunculated tags.

❋ Cryotherapy

Freezing the skin tag using liquid nitrogen. Causes gradual shrinkage and detachment. Suitable for selected small lesions.

FAQs

  • Once a skin tag is properly removed by a healthcare professional, that specific lesion will not regrow.
    The removal process eliminates the entire growth, preventing regeneration at the same site. However, if underlying factors such as friction, genetic tendency, or hormonal influences persist, new skin tags may develop in the same or other areas.
    This represents new growth formation, not recurrence of the original skin tag.

  • Skin tags are benign and non-cancerous. Any sudden change in color, size, or bleeding should be evaluated by a doctor.

  • Removal procedures are quick and usually painless. Local anesthesia may be used for larger lesions.
