How to Remove Skin Tags

By Dee Cohen

A skin tag is a growth which consists of a bit of skin that is protruding from the body. Often they are more commonly found in areas of wrinkled skin or folds of skin on the body such as armpits, sides of the neck and in the groin area. Also they can be found on a person's eyelids or around their eyes. In this article we will at a number of different types of skin tag treatment that are available.

Skin tags are a common condition but often occur to people who are middle aged or older. They develop in both men and women as they grow older and they can either be skin colored or darker and they can range in size from 1mm to 5mm. Although they are a benign condition they do look unsightly. There are many treatments available for dealing with skin tags and in this article we will look at two of them.

1. Home Remedies

One form of treating skin tags is readily available and is applied topically on to the area either using a Q-tip or your finger.. It uses anti-viral oils which have been proven to effectively and gently remove skin tags. One oil used is tea tree oil but keep in mind this is very concentrated and it must be used a few times a day for the skin tag to be eliminated. When using such a product it is important that you read the instructions that come with it fully. A second home remedy for skin tags is to increase one's B vitamin dosage.

2. Surgical Treatment

The treatments often used for treating skin tags include excision with scissors, cautery or cryotherapy (where liquid nitrogen is used). Cryotherapy is where cold is introduced through a probe which has liquid nitrogen circulating through it. In order to destroy the diseased tissue it must be cooled to below -20 degree celisus.

As you can see skin tag treatment can be quite painless and if you should suffer from them it is best that you talk with your doctor about finding the best way to eliminate them.
