Skin Tags

Skin tags are soft, skin-coloured growths on the skin. They are very common and are usually small and harmless.

Skin tags are usually the same colour as the rest of your skin, or a little darker. They can look like they're hanging off the skin. They do not usually hurt and are normally harmless.

Skin tags often grow where your skin rubs together or where there are folds in your skin.

This means they usually appear:

• on your neck

• under your arms

• on your eyelids

• under your breasts

• around your bottom

Skin tags range in size from around 2mm to 5cm. You may get one or you may get a large group of them.

Treatment

Skin tags are generally removed in one treatment. There will be a small scab where the ‘Stalk’ has been removed. Do not pick the scab, wait for it to fall off naturally. Follow the aftercare instructions provided.
