Understanding Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, soft pieces of skin that hang off the body on a thin stalk. They are completely benign (non-cancerous) and are made up of loose collagen fibres and blood vessels surrounded by skin. They most often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, which is why they are so common on the neck, in armpits, and in the groin area.

While they pose no medical threat, many people in London seek skin tag removal because they find them cosmetically unappealing or they become irritated from friction.

How we at Shumaila’s can treat this

At Shumaila’s, your journey begins with a consultation with one of our expert clinicians. They will confirm that your growth is a benign skin tag and then perform a quick, safe, and effective removal procedure right here in one of our 9 London clinics.

I visited the Shumaila's Upminster branch yesterday to get a skin tag removed that was already in quite a bad condition. I had the absolute pleasure of being treated by the founder, Shumaila Iftikhar herself! I am someone who is always completely terrified of needles and medical procedures, but Shumaila was an absolute amazing person. She is incredibly friendly and kept talking to me and making me laugh throughout the entire process. Even though the procedure was a bit painful for me because of my nervousness, her wonderful distraction technique and lovely personality made it so much easier to get through. I am so grateful for her care and highly recommend this clinic! Definitely will back to this clinic.Good luck to all of your branches.

Booked a family member for the skin tag removal and would highly recommend the service and treatment by Filza. She was very patient and thorough in explaining the treatment to the very anxious family member - it was their first time ever having it done. Thank you

I had a wonderful experience at Shumaila’s, I had been struggling with a skin issue for a long time, and after starting treatment here, my skin has improved amazingly. I’m so happy with the results and finally feel confident in my skin again. The entire staff is friendly, kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. A special thank you to Gurpreet, who is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring, made me feel comfortable throughout my treatment. Her friendly nature and expertise made all the difference. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for effective skin treatments and excellent care. Thank you to the whole team for such a great experience!

I have had a skin tag for many years. Went to the doctors who recommended trying to freeze the tag, this didn’t work. I searched on line and came across Shermaila’s who had very good reviews. I requested a free consultation on Friday evening. By Saturday morning Shermaila’s called me to go through the process and even fitted me in the same day. I was a bit nervous, the team are lovely at Shermailas Upminster. When I arrived, the skin tag was checked, then I went upstairs for the treatment. Within less than 5 mins the skin tag was removed. I highly recommend Shermailas for any skincare treatment. I will definitely return to Shermailas for skin care treatment in the future if needed. I left the clinic feeling confident again. Thank you to the team for the outstanding service.

I had such a wonderful experience with Nazia for skin tag removal. I had two failed cryotherapy procedures elsewhere, she recommended electrocautery and I wish I had seen her first! Nazia is so reassuring with a gentle and kind manner, making me feel at ease during the appointment. I would definitely return for further treatment!

I have been a customer of Shumaila’s for the past two years and have previously visited their Ilford and Gants Hill branches, so I was really excited when a new branch opened on Chingford Mount Road and it has honestly been such a wonderful addition to our area. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by Rinki, who carried out my consultation. I was genuinely impressed by her knowledge, professionalism, and the way she explained everything so clearly. Since I already had experience with these treatments, I could tell she truly understood skincare and knew exactly what she was talking about. So far, I have had a Hydra Facial done by Dr. Zunera and microneedling done by Dr. Sharn, both of whom were amazing. The treatments were carried out professionally, and I felt completely comfortable and well looked after throughout. Another lovely member of staff also did my daughter’s laser patch test, and my daughter has now started her laser treatment here as well. What really stands out about this branch is how friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable the entire team is. They make you feel comfortable straight away and are always happy to answer any questions without rushing you. The clinic itself is beautiful, clean, modern, and equipped with what seems to be the latest technology and machines. I also really appreciate the treatment packages they offer, which make everything much more affordable and reasonable. I personally purchased packages for microneedling, Hydra Facial, and laser treatment. I’m extremely happy with all of them. I’m genuinely excited to continue my future treatments here and would highly recommend this branch to anyone considering skincare or laser treatments. If you have any doubts or questions, just walk in and speak to the team , they are incredibly helpful and honest. A huge thank you to everyone at the Chingford Mount Road branch for doing such a fantastic job. Wishing you all continued success!
