What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that usually appear in areas where the skin folds or experiences friction. Common locations include:

• Neck
• Underarms
• Eyelids
• Groin area

Though harmless, skin tags can catch on clothing or jewellery, causing irritation or discomfort. Removing them professionally at DermDoctors ensures a safer, smoother result without risking scarring or infection.

Why Should You Consider Skin Tag Removal?

You might feel hesitant about removing skin tags, wondering if it is necessary. Skin tags can cause the following issues:

• Discomfort when rubbed by clothes or jewellery.
• Bleeding or irritation if accidentally torn.
• Self-consciousness about your appearance.

Addressing these growths with dermatology care means comfort and clarity. Choosing professional skin tag removal in Cape Town ensures you achieve the smooth, healthy skin you deserve.

The choice of method depends on your specific case. Each approach is quick, virtually painless, and performed with expert precision.

Does Skin Tag Removal Hurt?

If you are concerned about discomfort during skin tag removal, the procedure is fast and causes minimal pain. Local anaesthesia or numbing creams are applied, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience. Most patients describe the sensation as mild and brief, similar to a small pinch.

What is the Recovery Process Like?

Recovery after skin tag removal is straightforward. Here is what you can expect during recovery:

• Quick healing without noticeable scars.
• Return to normal activities immediately afterwards.

Post-procedure care is easy and requires minimal effort. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a rapid healing process.

Is Skin Tag Removal Permanent?

Skin tag removal offers permanent results for treated tags. While new skin tags can develop due to genetic predisposition or ongoing friction, removed tags do not return. Regular dermatology check-ups can help manage new growths, keeping your skin consistently healthy and clear.
