How to remove non-cancerous skin tags and lesions on the face
At Bluebonnet Dermatology in McKinney, Texas, our board-certified medical dermatologist, Dr Huayi Zhang, provides medical and cosmetic solutions for her patients. This includes solutions for patients with lesions, skin tags, warts, and other skin imperfections.Â
What is a skin tag?
Dr. Zhang describes the skin tag as a type of soft, small growth that can appear on any part of the body. It is often formed in areas where there is skin-to-skin friction, such as underarms, neck, eyelids, and groin. Skin tags are considered harmless and are typically pain-free, but they may cause discomfort if located in an area where they rub against clothing or jewelry.
What are some methods on how to remove skin tags on the face?
A dermatologist can easily remove non-cancerous skin tags through various methods. These include:
- Ligation. This technique involves using a tiny surgical thread to cut off the skin tag’s blood supply, which causes it to come off.
- Excision. Excision uses a scalpel or scissors to remove the skin tag completely.
- Electrocautery. This technique burns off the skin tag using an electric current.
It is important to note that these methods should only be performed by one of our trained medical professionals, like our board-certified dermatologist, in a sterile environment to minimize any risks of infection or scarring.
Which removal method is right for me?
When you consult with our board-certified dermatologist, you can speak to a provider with the skills and experience to educate you on your condition and make appropriate recommendations for treatment.
