What Are Skin Tags and their Causes?

Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are benign, soft growths that typically appear on areas where skin folds or experiences frequent friction, such as the neck, eyelids, underarms, and groin. Dermatologists identify friction as a primary cause, alongside genetic predisposition and hormonal changes during pregnancy or due to endocrine disorders. Though harmless, skin tags may cause discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concerns, prompting individuals to seek dermatology treatment. Minimally invasive surgery, such as Radiofrequency or Excision, is commonly employed by dermatologists for safe and effective removal. In a study published on PubMed Central, radiofrequency treatment was used for skin tag removal, and patients reported being “very satisfied” with the cosmetic outcomes, noting minimal discomfort and no significant scarring.

Types of Skin Tags

Identifying the types of skin tags is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment:

Pedunculated

These skin tags are fleshy growths connected to the skin surface by a slender stalk, often appearing in areas subject to friction. They may swing slightly when touched due to their narrow attachment point.

Filiform

Long, thin, thread-like skin tags that commonly develop around delicate areas such as eyelids and neck. Their shape makes them more noticeable and sometimes irritating, especially near sensitive skin.

Sessile

Broad-based, flat skin tags without a distinct stalk, typically lying flush against the skin’s surface. They tend to blend in with the skin more subtly but can still cause cosmetic concern.

Intertriginous

Skin tags found specifically in skin folds or creases, frequently arising in locations like the underarms, groin, and beneath the breasts due to persistent friction and moisture. These are more common in individuals with obesity or diabetes.

Skin Tag Removal Treatments

Several advanced methods are available for effective and safe skin tag removal from the face and body:

CO2 laser treatment precisely targets and vaporizes skin tags using a concentrated beam of carbon dioxide. It provides rapid healing with minimal scarring and reduced risk of recurrence.
Cryotherapy This method freezes skin tags with liquid nitrogen, causing the tissue to die and naturally fall off. It is quick, minimally painful, and ideal for treating smaller skin tags.
Radiofrequency Utilizing high-frequency electrical currents, this method gently heats and removes skin tags with exceptional precision. It promotes fast healing and is suitable for delicate areas with minimal risk of scarring.
Excision Surgical excision involves removing skin tags directly with a scalpel under local anesthesia. Ideal for larger or stubborn skin tags, this method offers immediate results with careful closure to minimize scarring.
Laser Resurfacing Laser resurfacing employs controlled laser energy to remove skin tags layer by layer. This procedure effectively smooths the skin surface and stimulates collagen production for enhanced cosmetic results.
Cauterization This technique involves burning off skin tags using controlled heat from an electrical device. It offers immediate removal and quick healing, especially beneficial for smaller tags.

Trusted Voices, Proven Service

I've been coming to The Nova Clinic Al Wasl Branch for laser hair removal and really happy with the results I'm getting. Shoutout to Dr. Saima, she's so sweet, very detailed and professional when it comes to explaining the procedures and whats best for me, and a shoutout to her nurse Rachel too. The only thing is that sometimes it's quite difficult to change or book appointments if I want to book something soon, which makes me have to wait a long time. However overall, I would definitely recommend this clinic to others!

It is always lovely to visit The Nova clinic on Al Wasl rd. the staff are all super nice and helpful. Jessica did my facial today. She is very professional and walked me through what would happen and how long it would last. During the treatment she talked about what she was applying and how it would affect my skin . Over all a great experience and I would definitely recommend Jessica and the Nova Clinic.

Lisa Hamilton
It was my first time at the Nova clinic and I was pleasantly impressed. A very beautiful, spacious and clean place with excellent service and professional specialists. I came for a procedure with cosmetologist Natalya and she selected a treatment for me based on my skin type and according to my recommendations, we did peeling and lifting of the lower part of the face, everything went as comfortable and pleasant as possible) After the procedure, my face was shining and looked very fresh, and after a few days I began to receive a million compliments that I began to look much better and that something had changed noticeably, this cannot please me either when in the morning I saw an even tone and a toned face. In general, I am very pleased and recommend Natalia as a specialist in caring for your face.

Diana Gorbacheva
I did an enzyme facial last week at NOVA clinic, It was amazing,Christine was amazing and very gentle and the atmosphere of the room is very relaxing. The facial was kind of uncomfortable because it stings BUT after the results of the facial after 2 days i forgot about the unpleasant itches during the facial. Everyone told me im glowing which is why im going to do the facial again very soon! Plus it seemed like it reduced visible fine lines/wrinkles. I highly recommend this facial and clinic, as it's very clean and welcoming.

Dunia hasbini
I recently had my brows shaped by Lana Tarek, a well known brow aesthetician. I am so impressed by her work. She is very meticulous in what she does, she will analyse your face and create a shape which will suit you best. My mother also does micoblading there and the results are amazing.. She creates really natural, beautiful brows. I highly recommend her!
