Skin Tag

At SkinSense Private GP Chelmsford, we provide expert care for skin tags, small benign growths that commonly appear on the neck, armpits, under the breasts, or groin. Our safe and straightforward removal procedures—including snipping, cryotherapy, and cauterization—help restore smooth, blemish-free skin while minimizing scarring and discomfort.

Procedure

Skin tags, those small, soft, and often flesh-colored growths, are benign and virtually painless additions to the skin’s landscape that can appear in various regions of the body. Typically measuring just a few millimeters in size, these minuscule protrusions are connected to the skin’s surface via a narrow stalk or peduncle.

While skin tags themselves are entirely harmless and present no significant medical concerns, they tend to make their presence known in areas where skin frequently experiences friction, such as the neck, armpits, under the breasts, or in the groin region. Despite their generally benign nature, some individuals opt for the removal of skin tags, either for cosmetic reasons or if the tags become irritated due to clothing or other factors.

The removal of skin tags is a straightforward and usually quick procedure, often performed by dermatologists or healthcare providers. The methods employed for removal encompass snipping, freezing (cryotherapy), or cauterizing the tag. These approaches effectively sever the tag from the skin’s surface, leaving behind minimal scarring.

In essence, while skin tags may be inconspicuous and typically benign, they are subject to removal if they cause discomfort or if individuals seek to enhance their cosmetic appearance. These uncomplicated removal procedures ensure a smooth transition back to blemish-free skin.

Price

The cost of the treatment is determined by each patient’s individual needs and the personalised approach required for their treatment.

Disclaimer: Please be aware that results and benefits may vary from patient to patient taking into consideration factors such as age, lifestyle and medical history.
