Caught your necklace or clothing on a tiny lump of skin? It’s likely a skin tag...
Skin tags (acrochordons) are completely harmless, non-cancerous growths. But why do they appear out of nowhere?
Why they form❓️
Friction: They most commonly grow in skin folds where skin rubs against skin or clothing (neck, underarms, groin, or under breasts).
Genetics: If your parents had them, you are much more likely to develop them too.
Hormones & Metabolism: Changes during pregnancy or fluctuations in insulin levels can trigger rapid growth.
Weight changes: Increased skin folds naturally create more friction points.
🥼 At The Carriage House Clinic we don't believe you should have to tolerate the irritation. We offer quick, clinical removal that takes just seconds per tag.
How we remove them safely❓️
Surgical Excision: Snipping them cleanly at the base using sterile micro-scissors under local anaesthetic.
Electrocautery: Burning the root using a precise heated tip, which seals the blood vessel immediately (no bleeding!)
Ditch the DIY home-freezing kits that risk scarring. Let our minor surgery specialists clear your skin safely.
