It can be scary when things go “bump” — especially so when it’s you! If you’re noticing more and more little “bumps” on your eyelids, neck, underarms, groin and/or breast areas, you may have skin tags.
Skin tags are extremely common and they come in all shapes and sizes. They will usually start out as very small, fine bumps (only a couple of millimeters), and rarely they can get as big as a centimeter! They are fleshy; you may even be able to grab onto them because they are attached to the skin by a base or “stalk”. Rest assured, they are completely harmless, but we understand that they can be annoying to deal with and ugly to look at.
Skin tags can appear anywhere on the body, but they are most commonly found in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, groin, and under the breasts. While they are generally painless, they can become irritated if they are rubbed by clothing or jewelry. Some people may also develop multiple skin tags over time, especially as they age or if they have certain health conditions like diabetes or obesity.
Treatment of skin tags is easy and straightforward. At Celibre Medical Corporation, we use a device called a hyfrecator to treat unwanted skin tags. It uses electrical current to heat the growth, gently yet precisely causing damage to the skin cells of the skin tag. This destroys the skin tag, allowing it to heal and disappear!
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking just a few minutes for each skin tag. Most patients experience only minor discomfort, and the treated area usually heals without leaving significant scarring. After treatment, you can return to your normal activities almost immediately, making it a convenient solution for anyone looking to remove skin tags safely and effectively.
