What is a Skin Tag?

A Skin Tag is a fairly common and benign soft growth of skin that will appear on a stalk or peduncle. The Skin Tag itself is composed of loose collagen fibres and blood vessels which are surrounded by skin.
The main contributors for the development of Skin Tags include:
  • Areas of Skin Fold and Friction
  • Genetics
  • Hormonal Change
  • Age
  • Insulin
  • Resistance and
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
The size of a Skin Tag can range from a few millimetres to up to five centimetres in diameter. it’s sensible to see a doctor to get any Skin Tags checked out, especially for the following:
  • New Skin Tags or growing rapidly
  • Large Skin Tags or become painful
  • Change in appearance

Skin Tag Removal Clinic

At Canova Medical Dermatology Clinic, Skin Tag Removal is a minor procedure carried out by Plastic Surgeons to remove a Skin Tag.

Surgical & Non-Surgical Skin Tag Removal

There are two main types of Skin Tag removal procedures:

  • Excision: This is the most common type of Skin Tag removal. This is a minor surgery under local anaesthetic where the doctor will carefully remove the Skin Tag with a scalpel.
  • Cryotherapy: This procedure is typically only used for a very specific Skin Tag Growth. If the Skin Tag is completely superficial and does not exist under the skin surface, your surgeon may suggest using extreme cold to freeze the Skin Tag.

Skin Tag Removal Treatment Option

Each technique has its own use case and would be selected based on size, location and quantity of Skin Tags.

Pain Free Skin Tag removal is typically done under local anaesthetic and this means that only the area around the Skin Tag will be numb.

Recovery from Skin Tag removal is quick and painless. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for the incision site, such as keeping it clean and dry.
