Safe and Gentle Solutions for Unwanted Skin Growths

Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that commonly appear in areas of friction, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, or groin. Though harmless, they can become irritated or cosmetically bothersome. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we offer safe, quick, and scar-minimizing treatments to remove skin tags with precision and care.


What Are Skin Tags?

Also known as acrochordons, skin tags are fleshy, skin-colored or slightly darker bumps that typically hang off the skin’s surface. They are composed of collagen and blood vessels and are not cancerous. Common characteristics include:

  • Small (1mm to 5mm) soft growths with a narrow base
  • Often appear in clusters or multiple areas
  • Painless, but may become irritated by clothing, jewelry, or shaving

Skin tags are more common in adults over 30 and in those with obesity, diabetes, or a family history of similar growths.


Why Do Skin Tags Develop?

Skin tags form due to:

  • Friction from skin rubbing against skin or clothing
  • Hormonal changes (especially during pregnancy)
  • Insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome
  • Genetic predisposition

Though not dangerous, their location may cause discomfort or self-consciousness.


Diagnosis at Yeongjong Central

Skin tags are typically diagnosed through visual examination. Our dermatologists will:

  • Assess the shape, size, and location of each lesion
  • Differentiate skin tags from other conditions such as warts, moles, or seborrheic keratoses
  • Recommend appropriate removal techniques based on your skin type and personal preferences

No biopsy is usually required unless the growth appears atypical.


Treatment Options Offered

Skin tag removal is a quick outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort. We offer the following methods:

1. Cryotherapy (Freezing)

  • Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze off the skin tag
  • Best for small to medium-sized lesions
  • May cause temporary redness or blistering

2. Electrocautery

  • Uses controlled electric current to burn off the tag
  • Effective with minimal bleeding
  • Leaves a tiny scab that heals in a few days

3. Radiofrequency Ablation

  • Precise high-frequency energy removes the tag while sealing blood vessels
  • Ideal for sensitive areas like the eyelids or neck

4. Scissor Excision

  • Performed with sterile surgical scissors under local anesthesia
  • Quick and virtually painless for larger or pedunculated tags

5. Post-Removal Skincare
