Skin tags –small flesh-colored or brown growths that hang off the skin. They are harmless, a weird little ailment, usually very small; they’re soft and skin-colored, lesions or growths of the skin that look like a bit of pinched or hanging skin. Medical terms for skin tags are:
• Achrocordons
• Papillomas
Skin tags are pretty common; they’re totally normal and, in most cases, harmless. Many people worldwide have skin tags, which have become more common with age. Although they are usually quite harmless, you may have reasons for wanting to get one removed. A certified MD can easily remove skin tags if they’re bothering you.
There can be a lot of reasons for what causes skin tags, but most of the time, they are caused by friction. They’re most often seen in body folds where the most friction can occur: eyelids, armpits, under the breasts, and in the groin and neck.
There are several removal methods, all of which you can discuss more with Doctor Natalia Hegedosh – please request a free consultation or book an appointment.

Common methods of removal include
1. Cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen)
2. Excision (with a scalpel blade or scissors)
3. Diathermy (heat and electricity)
You can easily find several self-removal techniques on the internet, but we advise against those methods when it comes to skin tags. It is not a great idea to try and remove skin tags yourself at home due to the potential risk of bleeding and infection.
Based on the size and location of your skin tags, we can choose the most suitable removal treatment among our several ones—cryotherapy, excision, and diathermy.
Under the direction of board-certified physician Dr. Natalia Hegedosh, our team specializes in minimally invasive cosmetic surgeries to guarantee safe and efficient skin tag removal catered to every patient's requirement.
