By Aggie Singh, advanced aesthetician and owner of Silesiana Clinic in Grimsby

That little bit of skin that catches on your necklace, rubs against your bra strap or gets in the way when you shave? It could be a skin tag. And once it starts bothering you, the first thing you’ll probably type into Google is “How do I get rid of skin tags?”

If you’re considering skin tag removal in Grimsby, start with an assessment. At Silesiana Clinic, I look at the area first, explain whether it’s suitable for treatment and talk you through what to expect. Treatment starts from £75. View skin tag removal at Silesiana Clinic.

What does a skin tag look like?

A skin tag is a small, soft growth that can look like a little flap of skin. It may hang from a narrow stalk and is often the same colour as your skin or slightly darker. Common places to find skin tags include the neck, underarms, eyelids and under the breasts.

Skin tags are usually harmless. They often become bothersome because of where they sit. One on your neck might catch on a chain, while one under your arm might get in the way every time you shave. (nhs.uk)

Is it a skin tag, a wart or a mole?

Skin tags tend to feel soft, while warts are often firmer and rougher. Some moles are raised, which can make them difficult to tell apart from a skin tag. If a growth is getting bigger, becomes painful or starts bleeding, ask your GP to check it before booking cosmetic removal. (nhs.uk)

Can I remove a skin tag at home?

If you’ve searched “can I cut off a skin tag?” or looked at a skin tag removal kit, it’s worth getting the growth checked first. Trying to remove it yourself can cause bleeding, infection or scarring. The NHS advises against removing a skin tag yourself unless your GP recommends it. (nhs.uk)

How does CryoPen skin tag removal work?

At Silesiana Clinic, I use CryoPen cryotherapy to freeze suitable skin tags. During your assessment, I look at the size and location of the tag and explain whether freezing is appropriate for the area. If we go ahead, I’ll talk you through what to expect as the skin heals and how to care for it afterwards. Read about CryoPen skin tag removal in Grimsby.

Can I get a skin tag removed on the NHS?
