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

Finally, DIY removal methods can cause significant bleeding. Skin tags have a blood supply, and if not cauterized or properly treated, bleeding can be difficult to control. This can lead to further complications and increase the risk of infection.

To ensure safe and effective skin tag removal, it’s essential to seek professional help. A dermatologist can accurately diagnose the growth and recommend the most appropriate treatment. Common professional removal methods include:

• Cryotherapy: This involves freezing the skin tag with liquid nitrogen, causing it to gradually fall off.
• Electrocautery: Using an electric current, this method cauterizes the skin tag, minimizing bleeding and promoting healing.
• Surgical excision: In some cases, surgical removal may be necessary, especially for larger or multiple skin tags. This procedure is performed under sterile conditions to reduce the risk of infection and scarring.

By choosing a professional approach, you can rest assured that your skin tag will be properly addressed, minimizing the risk of complications and ensuring optimal results. Remember, when it comes to skin health, it’s always best to consult a qualified healthcare provider.
