Skin Tag Removal Q & A
What is a skin tag?
Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are noncancerous skin growths. They’re very common and harmless.
They most often develop in areas of the body where the skin rubs together, like the underarms, neck, eyelids, or groin.
They look like a small cluster of skin hanging from a thin stalk. Skin tags are small and usually skin-colored, though they can appear darker.
When should I consider skin tag removal?
Skin tags are harmless growths. However, if your growth is bothersome, you might consider skin tag removal.
You might want skin tag removal if it grows in a visible area like your face or neck, or if it causes discomfort or irritation.
They may remove your skin tag using a scalpel to shave or cut it off, or freeze your skin tag, so it falls off on its own. The team may also cauterize ― burn — the skin tag to remove it or stop it from bleeding.
Plus, it’s possible your skin tag isn’t a skin tag, but something else like a wart or skin cancer. Getting an evaluation from the experts at Mohave Dermatology ensures you get the right diagnosis and the best possible care.
