Skin Tag Removal

Skin tags are skin-colored, small growths on a stalk often found on the eyelids, neck, armpits and groin area. Although skin tags are not harmful, they can become an annoyance when irritated by rubbing against jewelry or clothing. It is important to note that you should not try to cut or remove the skin tag yourself. It can bleed and will become susceptible to infection. At Deluxe Dermatology, we may choose to treat the skin tag by snipping with surgical scissors, freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy) or destroying it through the application of a small amount of heat (electrocauterization). Factors in this decision may include the size and location of the skin tag on your body, your medical history, your personal preference and other considerations. Skin tag removal may not be covered by insurance,
