Skin tags are soft, noncancerous skin growths that are typically flesh-colored or slightly darker. They tend to occur on the eyelids, neck, armpits, groin folds, and under breasts. While harmless, they can be annoying or cosmetically undesirable.

How Are Skin Tags Removed?

Skin tag removal can be achieved through several methods: • Snipping: Using sterile scissors or a scalpel to cut off the skin tag. • Cryotherapy: Freezing the skin tag off using liquid nitrogen. • Electrocautery: Burning off the skin tag using electric current. • Ligation: Tying off the skin tag at its base with surgical thread to cut off blood flow and cause it to fall off.

Is Skin Tag Removal Painful?

The procedure is usually quick and causes minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia can be used to numb the area, particularly if the skin tag is large.

What Can I Expect During Recovery?

Recovery from skin tag removal is typically straightforward. Minor bleeding or localized redness may occur, but these symptoms usually subside quickly. Healing is generally complete within a few days, and infection is rare if proper care is followed.

Are There Any Risks Associated With Skin Tag Removal?

Skin tag removal is a low-risk procedure, especially when performed by a healthcare professional. Potential complications can include bleeding, infection, or a slight chance of scarring, depending on the removal method.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

Most skin tag removals are quick procedures, often completed in minutes, depending on the number and size of the skin tags.

Will Insurance Cover Skin Tag Removal?

Because skin tag removal is usually considered a cosmetic procedure, it is typically not covered by insurance. However, if a skin tag is painful, bleeding, or otherwise problematic, some insurance plans might cover the removal as a medically necessary procedure.
