Skin Tag Removal Treatments
One question we get a lot is “should skin tags be removed?” We recommend skin tag removal when they begin to irritate or become uncomfortable. People typically opt to have their skin tags removed for cosmetic reasons. There is a myth that when you remove a skin tag, another will grow. But this is false. The good news is that skin tag removal is an easy and relatively painless medical dermatology treatment. Skin tags typically do not require anesthesia, but to make our patients comfortable, we can inject a topical anesthesia prior to skin tag removal treatments. At Schweiger Dermatology, we remove skin tags using the following methods:
- Freezing the tag with liquid nitrogen
- Use of surgical scissors to remove the tag
