SKIN TAG REMOVAL
A skin tag is a hanging growth of skin tissue. Skin tags are usually not cancerous and do not typically cause pain. However, irritation can occur if the skin tag frequently rubs against clothing or jewelry.
A skin tag may appear anywhere on the skin, especially the neck, chest, back, under the arms, under the breasts, or in the groin area. Women are more likely to develop skin tags than men due to the higher collagen stored. Skin tags may occur after weight gain and are more commonly seen in middle-aged or elderly adults.
THESE CAN BE EASILY TREATED WITH EITHER AS MONO THERAPY OR IN COMBINATION OF :
CHEMICAL PEEL
Salicylic acid peel works by ‘peeling’ the formation of excess tissue on the surface of skin.
CRYOSURGERY
Using cold temperature to excise the tag from skin surface
CANTHARIDIN
Using a chemical based substance to excoriate the affected skin surface and treat the root of the skin tag at the area
LASER CURETTAGE
The most effective of it all, electrosurgery burns the skin tag with an electric charge through the tip of a needle. It is good as it simply scrapes off from its root.
