What are the treatment options available for effective and safe skin tag removal?
At Aura Dermatologie, we offer several skin tag removal methods for patient consideration. These include the following services:
- Surgical excision:. tThis method involves using a scalpel or scissors to cut the skin tag off at the base. This may require prior numbing the area with a local anesthetic depending on the size of the skin tag and can result in some minor scabbing which usually heals in a few days.
- Cryosurgery (cryotherapy): this technique involves essentially freezing a skin tag with liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off aftert a few days. It may cause temporary redness, swelling, and scabbing in the treated area.
- Electrosurgery (electrocautery:this procedure utilizes an electric current to burn off the skin tag. This may require a prior numbing of the area with a local anesthetic depending on the size of the skin tags and the surface area to be treated. It may cause some temporary discomfort and scabbing in the treated area.
