Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that commonly occur in areas of friction such as the neck, underarms and groin. They are harmless and do not require treatment unless they become irritated, symptomatic or cosmetically concerning. Removal can usually be performed quickly and safely via cryotherapy or shave excision.

• Note if tags have changed, become painful or bled.

• Avoid attempting home removal.

Assessment determines whether removal is appropriate.
