Skin tags are harmless, non-infective little overgrowths of normal skin which can be unsightly and catch on things. You may often find a skin tag on one’s neck, eyelids, armpits, chest and groin areas. There may be just one or multiple numbers of tags of various sizes (from 1 to 4 mm) and raised away from the skin on a ‘stalk’. Nose and facial thread veins, milia, blood spots (cherry spots), common warts, plane warts, seborrhoeic warts and age spots, to name just a few of the 20+ blemishes that can be effectively and successfully treated with Electrolysis.
We can also remove them by administering a tiny amount of local anaesthetic to the area and drawing with a surgical blade or by cauterising it with diathermy (Electrolysis). A small dressing may be applied afterwards. This procedure may take only 10 to 15 minutes.
