Skin Tag Removal

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths of skin that often appear in areas of friction, such as:

• Neck
  
  
• Underarms
  
  
• Eyelids
  
  
• Groin
  
  
• Under the breasts
  
  

They are very common and not a sign of cancer, but many people choose removal for cosmetic or comfort reasons.

How We Remove Skin Tags

Dr. Azar uses safe, in-office methods for skin tag removal, including:

• Snip Excision – quick removal with sterile surgical scissors
  
  
• Cryotherapy (Freezing) – liquid nitrogen treatment that causes the tag to fall off
  
  
• Cauterization (Burning) – heat treatment that removes and seals the area
  
  

Most removals are completed in just a few minutes with minimal discomfort.

When to Consider Removal

You may want skin tags removed if they are:

• Causing irritation from clothing or jewelry
  
  
• Located on the eyelids or other sensitive areas
  
  
• Unsightly or affecting confidence
  
  
• Bleeding, painful, or changing in appearance (rare, but worth evaluation)
