How to get rid of skin tags?

The NYTimes recently published an article about skin tags. What they are? And how to get rid of them!

Skin tags are benign skin lesions, but they are often get caught on clothing and become a nuisance. Do you have bleeding, irritating, or just unsightly skin tags that you would like to have gone? Skin tags often show up around the neck, underarms, and in other area that get a lot of friction.

However, skin tags are very easy to remove. Depending on the size and location of the skin tag, we can use liquid nitrogen to freeze them, or use electrodessication, or snip them off after using local anesthesia. If you would like to have skin tags removed, schedule an appointment with any of our medical providers!
