What is it? Skin tags are benign (non-cancerous) growths on the skin. They are usually skin coloured. Skin tags commonly occur in areas where there is more friction, such as in the underarms, groin, neck and around the bra area.

Are skin tags dangerous? The good news is that skin tags are benign. However, they can often be irritating because they can catch on clothing and bleed.

What techniques can be used to remove your skin tags? The different techniques that Dr Wa will use to remove your skin tags include electrosurgery, cryotherapy, shave excision, punch excision and surgical excision. She will discuss the different options at the consultation and find the most suitable method for removing your skin tags.
