Skin Tag / Mole Removal

Skin tags are benign flesh-coloured skin growths that can appear on any part of the of the body. Common areas are the armpits, neck, eyelids and groin folds. They affect almost everyone at some point of their lives. Skin tags can sometimes be mistaken for skin warts because they look similar in appearance.

Why do I have skin tags?

Skin tags appear spontaneously. It is in your gene. Skin areas that are subject to more friction and stretching are more prone to skin tags. Pregnant women, middle aged and overweight adults are more likely to develop skin tags.

Are they harmful?

Skin tags are completely harmless that they do not affect your general health in any way. Most of the time, they do not cause any discomfort or pain. You may not even notice that you have skin tags in certain areas.

Since they are harmless, it is not necessary to remove them unless: 
  1. They appear in awkward places where they snag on your clothing or jewellery.
  2. They are very prominent that they bother you cosmetically.
  3. They keep getting irritated and inflammed by movement and friction.
  4. You just do not like them.
  5. You do not know if it is most than just a skin tag and wish to get it checked by a doctor

Skin tags on the face and neck bother people the most because they cause cosmetic concern.
