Skin-tags Treatment Options
Medical & Non-Surgical Approaches
- Skin tags can be removed with non-surgical methods like freezing (cryotherapy), burning (electrocautery), ligation (tying off), and snipping or laser. Home remedies and over-the-counter kits are out there but professional advice is strongly recommended to avoid infection, bleeding or misdiagnosis. Cryotherapy uses extreme cold to kill the tag and let it fall off; its often quick and non-invasive. ([turn0search28](turn0search28), [turn0search5](turn0search5))
