Who this page is for
Skin tags are common, benign, and usually simple to remove — but every growth should be checked by a doctor first, because not everything that looks like a skin tag is one.
Skin tags that catch or rub
Tags on the neck, underarms, or body catch on jewellery, collars, or clothing and have become irritating in daily life.
Bothered by their appearance
Tags on visible areas like the neck, eyelids, or face affect your confidence and you want them removed cleanly.
Multiple tags accumulating
Tags have multiplied over the years and you would like several assessed and removed in a planned session.
Not sure what the growth is
Something has appeared or changed and you want a doctor to confirm whether it is a harmless tag or needs further evaluation.
— What this involves
What skin tag removal involves
Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that commonly appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, and skin folds. They are harmless, but they can catch on clothing or jewellery, become irritated, or simply bother you cosmetically — all reasonable reasons to remove them.
Assessment comes first, and it matters: other skin growths — moles, warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, and occasionally lesions that need medical evaluation — can resemble skin tags. Your doctor examines each growth to confirm it is a benign tag before removal, and will advise further evaluation for anything that does not look straightforward.
Removal is performed by a doctor in clinic, typically using CO2 laser or electrocautery under local anaesthesia. Most sessions are quick, multiple tags can often be treated in one visit, and where suitable, removal can frequently be done on the same day as your assessment. Small scabs form at the treated spots and usually heal within one to two weeks with simple aftercare.
Results vary by individual — skin tag removal treats the existing tags, and people who are prone to them may develop new ones over time. A personalised quote is provided after your assessment, based on the number and location of growths treated.

Common questions
Often, yes — where the doctor confirms the growths are benign skin tags and you are suitable for the procedure, removal can frequently be done in the same visit. Anything that does not look like a straightforward tag is evaluated properly first rather than removed on the spot.
Local anaesthesia is used, so the removal itself is generally comfortable — most patients feel pressure rather than pain. The treated spots may feel mildly tender for a day or two while small scabs form and heal.
Doctor-performed removal with CO2 laser or cautery is designed to heal cleanly, and most small tags heal with minimal visible marks. Healing varies by individual, skin type, and location, and your doctor will discuss what to expect for your specific sites — including aftercare that supports good healing.
A properly removed tag does not grow back from the same spot, but people who are prone to skin tags may develop new ones elsewhere over time — friction-prone areas like the neck and underarms are common sites. Your doctor can advise on managing recurrence.
