What Causes Skin Tags?

Skin tags can appear on various parts of the body, including:

Underarms
Neck
Thighs
Bra line
Eyelids

They are more common in areas where skin rubs together or against clothing. Risk factors include:

Genetics: Family history increases the likelihood of skin tags.
Friction: Skin folds or areas prone to rubbing are more likely to develop skin tags.
Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and increased friction can lead to more skin tags.
Diabetes: People with diabetes may have a higher risk, though the exact cause is unclear.
Obesity: Excess weight increases skin friction, raising the risk of skin tags.

Methods of Removal

The size and location of the skin tag determine the best removal method. Common techniques include:

Radiofrequency (Ellman Surgitron): We employ the Ellman Surgitron for laser skin tag removal. It is a precise and effective method that requires no stitches.
Cryotherapy: Freezing the skin tag, causing it to blister and fall off.
Diathermy: Heat-based removal for larger or stubborn skin tags.
Surgical Snipping: To minimise bleeding and discomfort, performed under local anaesthesia for larger skin tags.

Please note: Medicare does not cover skin tag removal, as it is classified as a cosmetic procedure.

What to Expect During Skin Tag Removal

Consultation and Assessment:
The doctor evaluates the skin tag to determine the most suitable removal method.
Local Anaesthesia:
A local anaesthetic is applied to ensure a painless procedure.
Removal Process:
Depending on the method, the skin tag is removed using radiofrequency, cryotherapy, or surgical excision.
Healing:
- Healing typically takes 7–14 days.
- Scarring is minimal, especially with smaller skin tags.
- Post-procedure care instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing.

Large vs. Small Skin Tags

Large Skin Tags:
Larger skin tags with broader bases are best removed using diathermy, radiofrequency shaves, or surgical snipping.
Small Skin Tags:
Small skin tags can often be removed with cryotherapy, which involves freezing the tag and letting it fall off naturally.

Skin Tag Removal at Home

DIY methods for removing skin tags are often ineffective and carry risks.

Cutting: risk of infection and bleeding without removing the root of the tag.
Tying Off may cause inflammation and discomfort, especially for larger tags.
Topical Remedies: Vinegar or tea tree oil is unlikely to remove skin tags and can cause skin irritation.

For safe and effective results, professional removal is recommended.
