Skin Tags:

• Loose “tags” or “flaps”, often on a small stalk, which can develop anywhere on the skin’s surface
• Are especially common over the sides of the neck, under the arms, in the groins and under the breasts
• Are not cancerous and never develop into a skin cancer
• May be tan, pink, brown or even black in colour
• Are not due to diet or sun damage
• Often appear as the skin matures
• May be associated with pregnancy or weight gain
• Are not contagious
• May get gradually larger with time and do not disappear spontaneously

[av_toggle title=’Treatment’ tags=”]

• Small skin tags can be removed with a fine electrical instrument (electrocautery) which feels hot to the touch
  • The treatments sting and the tags will become crusted for about one week before they fall off
  • There is no bleeding
  • No stitches are required
  • Apply a small amount of antibiotic ointment to the treated area for two weeks
  • You may bathe normally
  • A bandage is not necessary

• For large skin tags, removal with a simple, small, surgical procedure produces the best results
  • The skin adjacent to the skin tag is injected with a local anesthetic to numb the area
  • The skin tag is removed and the base treated with electrocautery so that it does not bleed
  • Stitches are not necessary
  • The removal is not painful
  • After the procedure you may bathe normally
  • For two weeks after the procedure, apply a small amount of antibiotic ointment
  • Bandages are only required for very large skin tags, and should be changed daily
  • After a skin tag has been removed a crust or scab will form
  • The crust will heal and leave a pink mark that will gradually fade
  • After the removal, there may be a residual white mark
  • There is a small chance that the skin tag could grow back

• There is no way to prevent the growth of skin tags
• Treatment of skin tags is not covered by OHIP or private health insurance
• A referral from a doctor is necessary to make your first appointment
