What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, soft skin growths that commonly appear on the neck, armpits, groin, under the breasts, and on the eyelids. Although harmless, they can be bothersome or unsightly, especially if they catch on clothing or jewellery.
Furthermore, it’s estimated that up to 50% of adults will experience skin tags during their lifetime, making this a very common skin condition.
Can You Get Skin Tag Removal on the NHS?
Skin tag removal is not typically offered on the NHS as it is classed as a cosmetic procedure. Many patients are disappointed to discover this, especially if the skin tags are painful, large or in prominent areas.
Choosing private dermatology for skin tags ensures you receive expert care and a prompt solution. Self-removal can be dangerous and cause scarring, infection, or excessive bleeding. Moreover, we would always recommend seeing a qualified skin specialist.
How Are Skin Tags Removed?
At our skin clinics in Sussex, we offer same-day skin tag removal whenever medically appropriate. Additionally, our treatments are safe, effective and often completed in just one visit.
Methods of Removal Include:
Cryotherapy (Freezing): Liquid nitrogen freezes the tag, causing it to fall away naturally.
Electrocautery (Burning): A controlled electric current removes the skin tag by cauterising the base.
Excision (Snipping): The skin tag is removed surgically using sterile instruments under local anaesthetic — a simple form of skin tag surgery.
Your dermatologist will explain the options during your consultation and recommend the most suitable method for you.
