What are Skin Tags?

Skin tags, also known as soft fibromas, are small, benign growths that protrude from the skin. While they can be as small as a pinhead, they can grow to about 0.5 cm in diameter. Depending on where they appear, especially on the face or neck, skin tags can cause both physical and cosmetic concerns. They can vary in colour, from flesh-toned to darker shades like purple or pink.

Although they’re harmless, skin tags can be unsightly and affect self-confidence. They’re quite common, with about half the UK population developing them at some point. Some factors increase the likelihood of skin tags, such as age, clothing friction, or metabolic conditions like diabetes.

WHAT CAUSES SKIN TAGS?

Both men and women can develop skin tags, and their occurrence increases with age. During pregnancy, hormonal changes may also trigger skin tags, making them more common. Similarly, people with Type II diabetes or obesity are at a higher risk due to the way these conditions affect the body’s hormones and metabolism.

Chafing or friction is another common cause. Clothes that rub against the skin can irritate it, leading to the formation of tags. This is especially common in areas like the neck, armpits, and groin. In some cases, the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can increase the risk of developing skin tags.

PREVENTING SKIN TAGS

While it’s not always possible to prevent skin tags, managing certain lifestyle factors can help reduce the likelihood of developing them. For instance, if you are overweight, losing weight at a steady pace can reduce the occurrence of skin folds that may lead to chafing. Similarly, wearing properly fitting clothes can reduce friction on the skin. Keeping blood sugar levels in check, especially for those with diabetes, can also play a role in minimising the risk of skin tags.

Removing Skin Tags in Rutland

If you’re dealing with skin tags and find them bothersome, there are several medical treatments available. Dr Sunny Dhesi offers skin tag removal at Vysana Clinic in Rutland. Before undergoing any treatment, it’s crucial to ensure that what you have is indeed a skin tag and not a different skin condition like warts or molluscum contagiosum. A professional consultation can help clarify this.

Treatment Options for Skin Tags

  • Ligature Removal: This involves tying off the skin tag to cut off its blood supply, causing it to fall off naturally. Although this can be done at home, it’s safer when handled by a medical professional to avoid infection or scarring.
  • Surgical Removal: For larger or more vascular skin tags, surgical scissors can be used to remove them in a sterile environment. This ensures proper aftercare to reduce the risk of infection.
  • Shave and Cautery: For larger skin tags, this method involves shaving off the skin tag and cauterising the area to prevent reoccurrence. This procedure may require local anaesthesia and can only be performed by a doctor or a qualified medical professional.

Why Choose Professional Skin Tag Removal?


It’s essential to avoid DIY methods like tying off skin tags with string, as this can cause complications like infection or unsightly scarring. Instead, opt for a professional procedure carried out by Dr Sunny at Vysana Clinic. With years of experience and a focus on safety, you’ll receive expert care and a clean, smooth result.
