Skin Tag Removal

Skin tags are soft, noncancerous growths that usually form within the skin folds of the neck, armpits, breasts, groin area, and eyelids. These growths are loose collagen fibers that become lodged inside thicker areas of the skin.

Surgical procedures for skin tags

After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, your doctor may perform one of the following procedures based on the size and location of the skin tag:

• Cauterization. Your doctor uses heat to remove the skin tag.
• Cryosurgery. Your doctor sprays a small amount of liquid nitrogen over the skin tag, which freezes off the growth.
• Surgery. This simply involves your doctor snipping off the skin tag at its base with surgical scissors. The size and location of the skin tag will determine the need for bandages or stitches.
