What it is
Skin tags (acrochordons) are small, soft, skin-coloured growths on a narrow stalk. They form where skin rubs against skin or clothing — neck, armpits, groin, under the breasts, eyelids. They are harmless in themselves, but they catch on necklaces, collars, seatbelts and razors, and they bleed and become inflamed when they do.
When treatment is appropriate
Where a tag is symptomatic — catching, bleeding, becoming inflamed, being repeatedly traumatised, or interfering with function. That is a common and genuine reason to treat, and it is the basis on which this clinic treats them.
Who this is for
- A tag that catches on clothing, jewellery or a razor
- A tag that bleeds or becomes sore
- A tag that is inflamed or repeatedly traumatised
- A tag interfering with function
How it works
Small tags are treated by curettage and cautery — the base is treated with heat, which removes the tag and seals the vessel in one step. Larger tags are excised. Local anaesthetic is used, including a topical anaesthetic for delicate sites such as the eyelids.
Histology
Histology is not routinely required for skin tags.

Frequently asked questions
How many can be treated at once?
Agreed at assessment, based on the number that are symptomatic and what can safely be done in one session.
Will they come back?
A treated tag does not return, but people prone to tags may form new ones elsewhere.
Does it hurt?
Local anaesthetic makes the procedure itself painless.
Can you treat tags on my eyelids?
Yes, with topical anaesthetic and appropriate care; assessed individually.
Still not sure if this is the right treatment?
Speak to the GP first — the assessment decides the plan, and nothing is booked before then.
