What Are Skin Tags and How Are They Removed?
Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that hang from the skin by a thin stalk. They’re extremely common, entirely harmless, and tend to appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing: the neck, underarms, eyelids, under the breasts and in the groin. Most people have them removed because they catch on jewellery or collars, get irritated by shaving, or are simply bothersome to see.
Removal is a quick, minor procedure carried out in clinic. Depending on the size and location of the tag, your dermatologist may remove it by cautery, radiofrequency, cryotherapy (freezing), or fine excision; the method is chosen to suit the tag and the area, not applied one-size-fits-all. Small tags are removed in minutes, often several in a single appointment, with local anaesthetic used where appropriate for comfort. Healing is quick, usually leaving a small scab that settles over a few days.
The step that matters most comes before removal: assessment. Every growth is examined by a dermatologist first, because while the vast majority of skin tags are exactly that, some skin lesions can resemble a tag and need identifying. Removing on sight, as home kits do, skips the one step that keeps the procedure safe.
Where Skin Tags Are Commonly Removed at Yoland Clinic
Our dermatologists remove skin tags from the following areas at our Nadd Al Hamar clinic:
Neck
The most common site. Neck tags catch on necklaces and collars and are often the most visible, which is why they're the most frequently removed.
Underarms
Friction from movement and clothing makes the underarms a common site. Tags here can be irritated by shaving and deodorant.
Eyelids & Around the Eyes
Tags near the delicate eye area need particular care and a precise technique. This is exactly where a dermatologist, rather than a home kit, matters.
Under the Breasts & Chest
A common friction area where tags can become sore or irritated. Removed cleanly and discreetly in clinic.
Groin & Body Folds
Skin folds are classic sites for tags due to constant friction. Removal relieves irritation and discomfort.
Why Have Skin Tags Removed Professionally?
Skin tags are harmless, so removal is a choice, but when you do remove them, how it’s done makes a real difference.
Home removal kits, freezing sprays, and thread-tying methods are widely sold and consistently cause problems: incomplete removal, infection, and scarring worse than the original tag. More importantly, they destroy a growth that was never examined so if it wasn’t a simple tag, that information is lost. In-clinic removal by a dermatologist is quick, clean, assessed first, and far less likely to leave a mark.
Why Choose Skin Tag Removal at Yoland?
- Every growth assessed by a dermatologist before removal
- Method matched to the tag and location for a clean result
- Quick, in-clinic procedure, often several tags in one visit
- Local anaesthetic used where appropriate for comfort
- Far safer than home kits, with less risk of scarring or infection
What to Expect and Why New Tags Appear
Skin tag removal is one of the most straightforward procedures we do. After a quick assessment, the tag is removed, and you’re given simple aftercare for the small scab that forms. Most people return to normal activity immediately.
One thing worth knowing: removing a tag doesn’t stop new ones forming elsewhere, because the underlying tendency remains. Skin tags are associated with friction, weight and, in some cases, with insulin resistance, so a sudden crop of new tags is worth mentioning at your appointment, as it’s occasionally a sign worth looking into. Removing the tags you have is quick; understanding why they’re appearing is part of what a dermatologist adds.

- Same-day removal for the tags you have
- A dermatologist who notes if a sudden increase is worth investigating
- Honest advice on recurrence; new tags can form over time

Frequently Asked Questions
Is skin tag removal painful?
It’s a minor procedure and generally very well tolerated. Local anaesthetic is used where appropriate, so you may feel a small pinch from that and some pressure, but the removal itself is quick and comfortable.
How are skin tags removed?
Depending on the size and location, your dermatologist may use cautery, radiofrequency, cryotherapy (freezing) or fine excision. The method is chosen to suit the individual tag and the area, rather than applied uniformly.
Can I have several tags removed in one appointment?
Often, yes, multiple small tags can usually be removed in a single visit. Your dermatologist will confirm at assessment.
Is it safe to remove a skin tag myself at home?
It’s not advisable. Home kits, freezing sprays, and thread-tying commonly cause infection, incomplete removal, and worse scarring, and they destroy a growth that was never examined. In-clinic removal is quick, assessed first, and far safer.
Will the skin tag grow back?
A properly removed tag doesn’t grow back in the same spot, but new tags can form elsewhere because the underlying tendency remains. A sudden increase in new tags is worth mentioning, as it’s occasionally worth investigating.
Will skin tag removal leave a scar?
Skin tag removal usually heals with little or no mark, especially for small tags. Any mark tends to fade over time. Your dermatologist will discuss the likely result before removing tags in visible areas.
Are skin tags a sign of anything serious?
Skin tags themselves are harmless. However, a sudden crop of new tags can sometimes be associated with weight or insulin resistance, so it’s worth mentioning at your appointment.
