Tired of That Tiny Bump That Just Won’t Go Away? Skin tags might be small, but they can be a major annoyance—especially when they rub against clothes, get caught in jewelry, or show up in visible areas. While they’re harmless, many people opt to remove them for comfort, hygiene, or cosmetic reasons.
With advancements in minor surgery, skin tag removal treatment in Mumbai has become quicker, cleaner, and virtually scar-free—especially under the care of experts like Dr. Devayani Barve, a top plastic surgeon who prioritizes safety and aesthetics.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags, or acrochordons, are soft, small, benign growths that hang off the skin by a thin stalk. They’re not cancerous but can grow larger and multiply over time.
Common Locations for Skin Tags
-
Neck and armpits
-
Eyelids
-
Under the breasts
-
Groin or thigh creases
-
Around the collarbone
Causes and Risk Factors
- Friction from skin or clothing
- Genetics
- Obesity
- Hormonal changes (especially during pregnancy)
- Diabetes or insulin resistance
Are Skin Tags Dangerous?
No. They are benign and usually painless. However, they may bleed, become irritated, or get infected if repeatedly rubbed or snagged.
Why People Choose to Remove Skin Tags
- Cosmetic reasons
- Skin irritation
- Prevent future snagging
- Hygiene and comfort
- Peace of mind (to confirm it’s not something serious)
Methods of Skin Tag Removal
- Cryotherapy (freezing)
- Cauterization (burning)
- Excision (cutting)
- Laser removal
Each method has pros and cons. The ideal choice depends on the tag’s size, location, and skin sensitivity.
Is It Painful to Remove Skin Tags?
Not really. Most procedures use numbing cream or local anesthesia. Patients report the process is smooth and comfortable—making it a go-to for those seeking the painless removal of skin tags.
Skin Tag vs. Other Skin Growths
Skin tags are often confused with:
- Moles
- Warts
- Seborrheic keratosis
- Cherry angiomas
A qualified surgeon can easily differentiate and recommend treatment accordingly.
Can You Remove Skin Tags at Home?
While DIY removal kits exist, they pose risks—such as infection, scarring, or misidentification of dangerous growths. It’s always safer to have them checked and removed by a specialist.
Ideal Candidate for Removal
- Anyone with bothersome or cosmetically visible tags
- Those with tags that bleed or snag
- Patients with concerns about growth changes
How Long Does Removal Take?
Most removals take 10–30 minutes depending on the number and size. Patients can resume normal activity immediately.
