Skin Tag Removal in Bhubaneswar

Skin tags, commonly known as skin growths, hang from the surface of the skin on a thin piece of tissue called a stalk. These skin tags are made up of fat, collagen, fibres, and sometimes even cells, as well as some small blood vessels. Skin Tag Removal can be done by several different methods. One commonly available method is Cryotherapy, where a doctor, usually a dermatologist, freezes the skin tag using liquid nitrogen. Other removal methods are Electrocautery, Snipping, or Excision, either with a scalpel or even scissors. Most of the time, this operation causes little to no discomfort, especially if numbing medication is used beforehand. With the help of our expert dermatologists, you can learn more about the best skin tag removal in Bhubaneswar.

FAQ's

Skin tags are simply extra skin folds most commonly seen in older adults, and they can affect both men and women. Women who are obese are more susceptible to these skin tags. These skin tags are harmless and painless, but they can become annoying and uncomfortable when they are present in areas like the nose or ear or when skin rubs against them. These are commonly found on body parts like the neck, chest, back, armpits, under the breast, eyelids, and groyne area. Nowadays, they have become a cosmetic concern for many because of their appearance on visible body parts that do not look good. Therefore, individuals seek professional treatment for their skin tags. This professional treatment involves the complete removal of skin tags.

There is no specific medical reason available for the skin tags forming once they are formed; they are really difficult to get rid of without the help of a dermatologist. These skin tags can easily grow over time and become even more visible and irritating to some parts of the body, like where they constantly get rubbed on clothing, jewellery, or other skin. Therefore, one of the major concerns about cosmetics is that individuals seek treatment options.

You need to consult a dermatologist for this entire skin tag removal process. A dermatologist uses a variety of methods for this treatment. If the skin tag is small in size, it can be removed easily without the help of anaesthesia. However, if this skin tag is considerably large, you will need to go through an anaesthesia process and a long recovery period. 

The skin removal methods are:

  • Cutting it off with a scalpel or scissors

  • Cryosurgery (freezing it off)

  • Electrosurgery (burning it off with electric current) 

Once you have removed your skin tag, clean that area properly with soap and water two times a day until your doctor says to follow different instructions. Do not try to use hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, or bleaching agents; these agents slow down your healing process. Now cover your wound with a thin layer of petroleum jelly—-the most commonly available jelly we have is Vaseline, and others you constantly use—-and then cover it with a non-stick bandage.

Skin tags usually grow for about 5 millimetres. However, in some rare cases, they may show growth up to two centimetres. 

Cutting the skin tags with scissors at home is very painful and leads to uncontrolled bleeding. There are chances of risks like that area getting infected, getting swollen, and having uncontrolled bleeding. Therefore, a doctor or a dermatologist can easily remove them with minimal pain and scarring, as they are professionals.

As it is an active living cell, the removal process will hurt a little bit. Particularly when a numbing agent is used before the removal process, such as an anaesthetic agent, the patient may feel some discomfort with the removal process, but once the process is done, there is no significant pain felt by the patient for a longer time. 

When the stalk that holds the skin tag on the skin becomes twisted and folded, it leads to blood clot formation. You need to consult your doctor when you see redness and a rash around your skin tag.

There are a few ways you can stop the growth of skin tags by reducing the friction where the skin tag is preset and tends to develop more. Jewellery is the most common provoking agent for skin tag growth, especially in the neck area. Friction under your armpits may promote the growth of skin tags.

Once you have removed your skin tag professionally, it will not regrow. These are harmless, painless skin growths that do not cause any problems other than their appearance on the skin.
