What causes skin tags?

Skin tags typically are caused by skin friction so are most commonly seen where the skin folds or where clothing items frequently rub against the skin. Most commonly on the neck, underarm, under breast/ bra strap area or in groin area. Skin tags can be hereditary, and people who have type 2 diabetes or are overweight are at increased risk of getting them. Some people can also develop them in areas where there is no skin friction e.g. around the eyes, for no apparent reason.

Skin tag removal London – FAQS

How will you remove my skin tag?

The skin tag removal process is fairly simple.

Our doctor will examine the skin tag to determine if it is safe to remove, they will then use local anaesthetic to numb the area and then surgically remove it using a scalpel or burn it away using Electrocautery.

Does this procedure leave a scar?

Scar from skin tag removal is generally very minimal and barely visible. This also depends on the type of removal we perform for your skin tag. The type of removal depends on the size and placement of the skin tag. However any scar will generally look far less noticeable than the tag itself.

Is it safe to remove a skin tag?

We will inspect your skin tag before attempting to remove it. We won’t perform a removal procedure if we don’t deem it safe to do so.

Is skin tag removal painful?

No. Depending on the size and location of the skin tag a variety of methods may be taken to remove it, including surgically removing it or burning it away but both are provided at Dr Leah Clinics with local anaesthetic which means the removing of a skin tag is pain free.

Is skin tag removal considered cosmetic

Yes. The NHS do not cover the removal of skin tags and private health insurance companies often decline this so therefore considered cosmetic.

There are certain reasons when a skin tag removal may be considered non-cosmetic such as if it is painful, bleed, or frequently gets caught.

Is skin tag removal permanent

Yes once a skin tag has been removed it should not grow back in the same spot and therefore is considered a permanent removal. Though new skin tags may grow near or around the area in the future if you are prone to skin tags due to any underlying issues.
