My hubby was about to remove his on his own! Glad I saw this first!

Removing skin tags on your own may seem like a quick fix, but it carries several risks:

1. Infection

DIY removal methods can create open wounds, increasing the risk of infection.

2. Scarring

Incomplete or improper removal can leave visible scars.

3. Misdiagnosis

Some growths may look like skin tags but could be other types of lesions that require medical evaluation.

4. Bleeding

Inadequate methods can cause excessive bleeding, especially if the skin tag is larger or in a sensitive area.

1. Consult a Dermatologist

Consulting a healthcare professional ensures that the growth is correctly identified and safely removed.

2. Cryotherapy

This professional method involves freezing off the skin tag with liquid nitrogen.

3. Electrocautery

This technique uses an electric current to burn off the skin tag, minimizing bleeding and promoting quicker healing.

4. Surgical Excision

This involves cutting off the skin tag under sterile conditions, significantly reducing the risk of infection and scarring.

By opting for professional methods, you avoid the risks associated with DIY removal and ensure the skin tags are treated effectively and safely. Always prioritize your health and consult a healthcare provider for skin tag removal.
