Skin Tags
When it comes to skin people become sensitive about it. But what if, you have clear skin but some benign tumor tags along to your skin? Surely no one needs that thing to appear on their skin whether it’s on their face or neck they want it to be removed. These tumors most commonly occur in creases or between skin folds. These tags can be removed through surgery or by OTC (over the counter) treatment.
Surgery
There are some procedures that can be used to remove skin tags:
Cauterization: By the use of electrolysis skin tag will be burned
Cryosurgery: Liquid nitrogen is filled in small probe and is used to freeze the tag
Ligation: Interrupting the blood supply of the tag
Excision: Tag will be cut off using a scalpel
These treatments have to be done in the proper care of a dermatologist or skin specialist. If the skin tag is on the eyelid that has to be removed by an ophthalmologist.
Over-the-counter
This treatment is related to medication available at pharmacies. Tag will freeze and fall after a short period of 7-10 days. But again you have to consult some specialist before going for this treatment.
