What are skin tags?
Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons or fibroepithelial polyps, are small, soft, benign growths that typically appear on areas of the body where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They often occur in areas such as the neck, armpits, groin, and under the breasts.
While their exact cause isn’t fully understood, factors such as friction, genetics, hormonal changes, obesity, and age may contribute to their development.
They are generally harmless and painless, but they can be bothersome if they rub against clothing or jewelry, causing irritation or discomfort.
For personalised evaluation and management of skin tags causing discomfort, consulting our dermatologists at Freyja Medical is advisable. We offer expert assessment and tailored treatment plans to address your concerns effectively, restoring comfort and confidence in your skin.

What causes skin tags?
The exact cause is not fully understood, but they are believed to develop as a result of several factors, including:
Friction: Skin tags often form in areas where skin rubs against itself, such as in skin folds. This constant rubbing can irritate the skin and lead to their development.
Genetics: There may be a genetic predisposition to skin tag development. Individuals with a family history are more likely to develop them.
Hormonal changes: Fluctuations, like those during pregnancy or in individuals with conditions like diabetes, may contribute to formation.
Obesity: Being overweight or obese can increase their likelihood due to increased friction and skin folds.
Age: Skin tags tend to be more common in middle-aged and elderly individuals, though they can occur at any age.
Skin tags are generally harmless and painless, but they can be bothersome if they rub against clothing or jewelry, causing irritation or discomfort.
Can skin tags be removed?
Yes, skin tags can be removed. There are various methods for removing skin tags, including:
Cryotherapy: Freezing the skin tag with liquid nitrogen
Excision: Cutting the skin tag off with a scalpel or scissors
Electrosurgery: Burning the skin tag off with an electric current
These procedures are typically quick, simple, and can be performed by a dermatologist. It is not safe to attempt to remove skin tags at home.
Is skin tag removal safe?
Certainly. It is safe to have skin tags removed by a dermatologist using various methods such as cryotherapy, excision, or electrosurgery. These procedures are typically performed under sterile conditions by trained professionals, minimising the risk of complications.
However, attempting to remove skin tags at home is not safe and can lead to infection, scarring, or other adverse effects. It’s essential to seek professional guidance for safe and effective removal.
