Eliminate Irritating Growths Safely

Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are common, benign growths that develop when collagen fibers and blood vessels become trapped within thicker areas of skin. They most often form in places where skin rubs against skin or clothing, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin, or beneath the breasts. Friction, genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, insulin resistance, and aging can all increase the likelihood of developing skin tags.

While skin tags are harmless and non-cancerous, they can twist, become irritated, bleed, or even catch on jewelry and clothing. At DrSkin, we take a personalized, medically guided approach to safe, precise skin tag removal in Gilbert and Chandler.

Skin Tags Overview

Am I a Good Candidate for Skin Tag Removal?

You may be a good candidate for skin tag removal if you have benign skin growths that are bothersome, irritated, or affecting your confidence. Skin tag removal is appropriate for adults with skin tags in common friction areas, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin, or under the breasts. Our medical team confirms that the growth is a skin tag and recommends the safest, most effective approach for its removal, based on size, location, and your skin type. You may be a good candidate if you experience any of the following symptoms or concerns:

  • Discomfort during shaving or daily hygiene routines
  • Frequent irritation from clothing, bras, or jewelry
  • Cosmetic concerns in visible areas like the neck or face
  • Bleeding or tenderness from repeated friction
  • Rapid growth or changes in appearance

Treatment Options for Skin Tag Removal

Each skin tag is unique, so your treatment must begin with a thorough medical evaluation. During your consultation, our providers examine the growth to confirm it is a benign skin tag and assess its size, location, blood supply, and surrounding skin. This allows us to select the safest and most effective technique for skin tag removal, while reducing the risk of scarring.

Shave Excision

Shave excision involves carefully removing the skin tag at its base using a sterile medical blade. This technique allows for immediate removal and is especially effective for larger or raised skin tags. Because the provider works at the surface level, the surrounding skin is preserved. Proper surgical techniques help promote smooth healing with minimal scarring.

Bovie 1250S Hyfrecator

The Bovie 1250S Hyfrecator uses precise electrosurgical energy to safely remove skin tags by delivering controlled current directly to the unwanted tissue. This targeted approach cauterizes the area as it treats, minimizing bleeding and reducing the risk of infection. The surrounding skin remains intact, making it a quick, effective option that is especially well suited for delicate or highly visible areas.

Benefits of Skin Tag Removal

Skin tag removal can improve both comfort and confidence by eliminating growths that interfere with daily life or draw unwanted attention. When performed by experienced medical providers, treatment is quick, precise, and tailored to your skin. Key benefits include:

  • Reduced irritation from clothing, jewelry, or skin friction
  • Improved skin comfort during daily activities
  • Smoother, more even-looking skin texture
  • Enhanced confidence in visible areas
  • Low risk when performed in a medical setting
  • Minimal downtime and straightforward recovery

FAQ Skin Tags

Are skin tags dangerous or cancerous?

Skin tags are almost always benign and non-cancerous. They are made of normal skin tissue and do not pose a medical threat. However, any growth that changes in color, size, or shape should be evaluated by a medical provider to confirm it is truly a skin tag before removal.

Why do skin tags keep appearing?

Skin tags commonly form due to friction, genetics, hormonal changes, insulin resistance, or weight fluctuations. Areas where skin rubs together, such as the neck, underarms, and groin, are especially prone to skin tags. Removing existing skin tags does not prevent new ones from forming, which is why ongoing skin evaluations are often helpful.

Will skin tag removal leave a scar?

When performed properly, skin tag removal typically heals with little to no visible scarring. Our providers carefully choose the removal method based on the size, depth, and location of the skin tag to optimize cosmetic outcomes, especially in visible or delicate areas.

Can skin tags come back after removal?

A removed skin tag does not grow back. However, new skin tags can develop in other areas over time. Maintaining an active relationship with a full-spectrum aesthetic practice like DrSkin allows you to monitor your skin over time and seek early treatment when needed.
