What is a Skin Tag?
A skin tag is a small, noncancerous growth that forms when the skin rubs against itself. While some skin tags may not require treatment, they can be removed if they are bothersome. Skin tags are the same color as your skin and often appear as a small cluster of skin tissue extending from a tiny stem. They are common, as about half of all adults will have at least one skin tag in their lifetime.
Skin tags most often appear in areas where the skin rubs against itself, such as the eyelids, armpits, groin or thighs, neck, under the breasts, and genitals.
Please note that a skin tag may also appear very similar to a different type of skin growth. If you notice any type of fleshy growth that varies in color, size, or shape, seek guidance from a board-certified provider.
Skin Tag Removal Candidates
Healthy individuals who have skin tags that are bothersome or become irritated or bleed easily can often benefit from skin tag removal. This procedure can also be performed for those who simply do not like the way a skin tag looks. The best way to determine if a skin tag can be safely removed is through a consultation with Dr. Rod, who has the skills and training to treat delicate issues, such as skin tags, for minimal scarring.
