What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, benign skin growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. These growths can be flesh-colored or slightly darker and typically range in size from a few millimeters to a few centimeters.
Common areas for skin tags include:
- Neck
- Armpits
- Eyelids
- Groin
- Under the breasts
While skin tags are harmless, they can become irritated from friction or catch on clothing and jewelry, making removal a practical choice for many people.
Causes of Skin Tags
Skin tags are caused by the natural folding and friction of skin, but several factors can increase their likelihood:
- Genetics: A family history of skin tags may make you more prone to developing them.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, insulin resistance and other hormonal fluctuations can increase the risk.
- Age: Skin tags are more common as we age, particularly after the age of 40.
- Lifestyle Factors: Obesity and diabetes are associated with an increased likelihood of skin tags.
Understanding the underlying causes can help you manage and prevent additional skin tags from forming in the future.
How Are Skin Tags Removed?
At Dermagiz, we offer safe and effective skin tag removal options, each customized to meet your specific needs. Our removal methods include:
- Cryotherapy: This technique involves freezing the skin tag with liquid nitrogen, causing it to shrink and fall off naturally.
- Cauterization: A small device is used to burn the skin tag, sealing the area and removing the growth.
- Surgical Excision: For larger skin tags, surgical removal using sterile scissors ensures precision and quick healing.
Dr Juan Gomes-Izquierdo will assess your skin and recommend the best method for your unique case during your consultation.
What to Expect During Skin Tag Removal at Dermagiz
Skin tag removal is a straightforward, minimally invasive procedure that typically takes less than 30 minutes. The process is virtually painless, with many patients describing it as a slight tingling or warming sensation.
Before the procedure, your practitioner will:
- Examine the skin tag to confirm it is benign.
- Explain the chosen removal method and what to expect during and after the procedure.
- Administer a local anesthetic if necessary to ensure your comfort.
After the removal, you’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize scarring.
Post-Treatment Care for Skin Tag Removal
One of the benefits of skin tag removal at Dermagiz is the minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
To ensure optimal healing:
- Keep the Area Clean: Gently wash the treated area with mild soap and water.
- Avoid Irritation: Refrain from wearing tight clothing or jewelry that may rub against the area.
- Protect Your Skin: Use sunscreen on exposed areas to prevent discoloration.
Our team will provide detailed aftercare guidance to help you achieve the best results.
