If you have a small piece of protruding skin that has awkwardly grown on your body, then you might have something called a skin tag. Skin tags are small pieces of tissue that hang off the skin by a short stalk. Some people may have a single skin tag, while others may notice groups of skin tags growing on the neck, chest, back, armpits, or groin. Skin tags are not dangerous, but they can become annoying in more ways than one.
Normally, skin tags don’t cause any pain or discomfort. They can become irritated or inflamed if they are rubbed against clothing, bedding, or jewelry. Skin tags can bleed if excessively irritated.

Skin Tag Removal San Diego: Everything You Need to Know
Sometimes you cannot help but develop skin tags. Women and people who are overweight or over 50 years old are the most susceptible to skin tag growths. If you notice any skin tags on your body, the best thing to do is to leave them alone until they can be removed by a doctor. Pulling, scraping, or cutting skin tags yourself can worsen their appearance and leave you with an infection and a scar.
The best way to remove skin tags is by visiting your doctor. Some primary care and urgent care clinics may perform the procedure, but many will refer you to a specialist for definitive care. If you live in the San Diego area, then Mole Removal San Diego is a reputable specialist that can remove your skin tags the right way. Dr. Peter Mann, our medical director, is a fellowship-trained surgeon with years of experience performing cosmetic procedures. Dr. Mann uses radiofrequency cauterization to safely and effectively remove moles and skin tags.

Some doctors may choose to use laser or freezing treatments as well as standard cutting with surgical instruments. The best option depends on what your doctor thinks will be the safest and most effective treatment for your specific case. Single or small groups of skin tags can be effectively removed with a cautery, but large skin tags or lesions may have to be surgically excised.

Skin Tag Removal Testimonials
"When I noticed a few small skin tags growing on my neck I didn't think too much of it at first. Fast forward 6 months and those small skin tags had doubled in size and were much more noticeable. I was starting to become self conscious and it was affecting my social life. My sister recommended Mole Removal San Diego who also offered skin tag removal. I was in and out in under an hour and after a few weeks you couldn't even tell where the skin tags used to be. I feel like my old self again!"

"Luckily for me, my skin tags were only located on my inner thigh so they weren't very noticeable. However they started to get irritated during physical activity and it even led to a minor infection. My physician recommended having them removed. After a few weeks of research I came across Mole Removal San Diego. I went in for a consultation and Dr. Mann reassured me he would be able to get rid of them. Sure enough after the short and painless procedure they were all gone!"
