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.
With the rise of at-home kits like “cryotag skin tag remover” or other freezing devices, it might seem easy to handle skin tags yourself. However, this is extremely risky.
Why you should always see a professional:
- Risk of Infection: Improper removal can lead to a nasty infection.
- Scarring: You can easily cause permanent scarring, which is often worse than the original skin tag.
- Incomplete Removal: If the base is not fully removed, the tag can grow back.
Misdiagnosis: Most importantly, what you think is a skin tag could be something more serious, like a mole or a wart, which requires a proper medical diagnosis. Never attempt to remove a growth you are not 100% certain about.
