- Freezing devices can be used
Some creams and oils have been reported to cause skin injuries, especially those containing salicylic acid
Excision
Snip excision
Used for small skin tags. Local anesthesia is not required. During the procedure, the doctor simply removes the tag with a small and sharp iris scissor. It is a quick and efficient method, and the person may experience mild pain after removal.
Shave excision
Larger tags are removed in this process. Anaesthesia is given so that the patient doesn’t feel any pain. Tags are removed by shaving them off or cutting them with a scissor, like in snip excision
Cryosurgery / Cryotherapy
- Also known as freezing.
- The skin cells in the tag are frozen ceasing their further growth. As a result, the skin tag dies and falls off in 10-14 days.
- Tags are frozen with the help of cryo tweezers or spraying from a cryo gun.
- Liquid nitrogen is used as a primary freezing agent.
- Takes less than 5 minutes to remove multiple tags from an area.
It is very effective and less painful. Tags on eyelids and other sensitive parts of the face are permanently removed after 3 treatments with a one-week gap between every two treatments.
Electrodesiccation
- Burning the skin tissue with the help of an electric current.
- An electrode needle is inserted in the skin tag which deadens the skin cells inside
- This is quicker than other methods.
Ligation
- A small band is applied to the base of the skin tag in this method
- The blood supply cuts off to the upper part of the tag, causing it to fall off on its own
- May cause pain and take a few days to finish
