Common Questions About Skin Tag Removal

You want beautiful, flawless skin, but it is hard to feel confident in your skin if you have several skin tags. At Lily Hand health + beauty, we provide skin tag removal services, and we want you to feel beautiful and confident in your own skin. Here are some questions we regularly receive about skin tags and the skin tag removal process in general.

What are skin tags?

Skin tags are an outgrowth of normal skin that is attached to a thin stalk. Typically, skin tags are the same color as the rest of your skin, but they can also be a little bit darker. Most skin tags are usually about the size of a pencil eraser, but they can grow and become larger.

How do you get skin tags?

Friction is the typical cause for skin tags. In most cases, you will get skin tags in places where your skin regularly rubs against fabric. For example, it is common to get skin tags under your armpits, in the creases of your thighs, or around your neck.

When should I remove a skin tag?

We recommend seeing us for the skin tag removal process if you have a skin tag that has become inflamed or infected. We also recommend removing a skin tag if you do not like the way it looks or if it constantly gets caught on your jewelry or clothes.

Can I remove skin tags on my own?

Although some people have successfully removed skin tags on their own, we do not recommend this. Contact us today to schedule a skin tag removal appointment with our professionals.
