Skin tags can occur on any part of the body, generally in areas where the skin forms creases, including the neck, under the arms and on the eyelids.

Because they can cause irritation or cosmetic concerns, it is common to have skin tags removed by a physician. At [name of facility] our skilled and experienced doctors provide virtually pain-free skin tag removal.

Skin tags can be removed by freezing or cauterizing. Small tags can be removed easily without anesthesia while larger growths may require some local anesthesia prior to removal.
