What are Skin Tags?

Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, soft, skin-colored growths that usually occur in areas where the skin rubs against itself or clothing.
They are typically 2-5 millimeters in size but can grow up to half an inch in some cases.

While skin tags are harmless and do not require treatment, they can be unsightly and may cause discomfort or irritation if they rub against clothing or jewelry.

Skin Tag Removal Options

Skin tag removal is a simple and safe procedure that can be done in-office with little to no downtime. At My Image Skin and Body, we offer the following skin tag removal options:

Electrocautery

Electrocautery uses a small electric current to burn off the skin tag. This method is fast and efficient but may cause a small scab to form at the treatment site.

Excision

Excision involves cutting the skin tag off with a scalpel or scissors. This method is quick and effective but may leave a small scar at the treatment site.

Our team of experts will evaluate your skin tag and recommend the best removal option for your individual needs.

Aftercare for Skin Tag Removal

After skin tag removal, it’s important to keep the treatment area clean and dry. You should avoid picking at the scab or using any harsh skin care products in the area. You may also be advised to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen on the treated area.

Preventing Skin Tags

While it’s not always possible to prevent skin tags from developing, there are some steps you can take to reduce your risk:

Maintain a healthy weight

Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing skin tags, as excess skin folds can create friction and irritation.

Wear loose-fitting clothing

Tight clothing can also cause friction and irritation, especially in areas where the skin rubs together, such as the underarms and groin.

Keep your skin dry

Moisture can promote the growth of skin tags, so make sure to keep your skin dry, especially in areas that tend to sweat.

Avoid using harsh skincare products

Some skincare products, such as exfoliants or chemical peels, can irritate the skin and increase the risk of skin tag formation.

Manage underlying health conditions

Some conditions, such as diabetes and hormonal imbalances, can increase the risk of skin tags, so it’s important to manage these conditions with proper medical care.
