Skin Tag Treatment Steps:
Cryotherapy
This method involves freezing the skin tag with liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off after a few days. It is a quick and effective way to remove skin tags with minimal discomfort.
Electrosurgery
During electrosurgery, a high-frequency electrical current is used to burn off the skin tag. This procedure is precise and usually requires local anaesthesia.
Excision
Excision involves cutting off the skin tag with a scalpel. This method is suitable for larger skin tags and typically involves a small amount of local anaesthesia.
Over-the-Counter Solutions
For smaller skin tags, over-the-counter treatments like topical solutions or adhesive bandages may be effective. Always follow the product instructions and consult a dermatologist if you have any concerns.
After-Care
Keep the area clean and dry, avoid picking at it, and apply any recommended ointment to promote healing.
