Skin tags are small, harmless growths of skin that can appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin, or any area where skin folds and rubs together. While they are medically benign, they can be a source of discomfort, irritation, and self-consciousness. At Derm Saga Skin & Hair Clinic in Moti Nagar, Hyderabad, we provide safe and effective skin tag removal treatments performed by experienced dermatologists.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are soft, flesh-coloured growths attached to the skin by a thin stalk called a peduncle. They typically develop in areas of friction and are more common in adults over 40, people who are overweight, and those with diabetes or a family history of skin tags. They vary in size from a few millimetres to a centimetre or more.
Common Locations of Skin Tags
- Neck and collar area
- Underarms
- Eyelids and around the eyes
- Under the breasts
- Groin and inner thighs
- Stomach folds
Why Remove Skin Tags?
Many people choose to have skin tags removed for the following reasons:
- Cosmetic reasons: Skin tags on the face, neck, or visible areas can affect confidence.
- Discomfort: Tags in areas of friction, such as the underarms or neck, can get caught on clothing or jewellery, causing pain or bleeding.
- Uncertainty: Some people want tags examined and removed to rule out any other skin condition.
- Hygiene: Tags in certain areas can make cleansing difficult.
Skin Tag Removal Methods at Derm Saga Clinic
1. Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation is one of the most popular and precise methods for skin tag removal. A fine probe delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to the tag, effectively burning off the growth without damaging surrounding skin. The procedure is quick, virtually painless with local anaesthesia, and leaves minimal to no scarring.
2. Laser Removal
Laser treatment uses focused light energy to precisely destroy the skin tag tissue. This method is particularly effective for small to medium-sized tags and is ideal for sensitive areas like the face and eyelids. It is a non-invasive, clean procedure with minimal downtime.
3. Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves the application of liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag, causing it to die and fall off within a few days. This is a safe and effective technique for superficial tags and can be done quickly in a single session.
4. Surgical Excision
For larger or stubborn skin tags, surgical removal using a sterile scalpel or surgical scissors may be performed under local anaesthesia. This ensures complete removal and allows the tissue to be sent for histopathological examination if needed.
Is Skin Tag Removal Painful?
At Derm Saga Clinic, patient comfort is our priority. Depending on the removal method chosen, local anaesthesia or a numbing cream is applied to ensure a comfortable experience. Most patients describe minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Any mild redness or tenderness at the site resolves within a few days.
