Skin tags are small skin growths which appear on the skin surface and they are also known as plantar warts or acral warts. They are generally found on the feet, hands, face, armpits, neck, and genital area. They can be removed by using different methods such as laser treatment, freezing, surgery, and nail polish. Laser treatment Laser treatment is the most common method of treating skin tags. You can use a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to remove them. It works like a scalpel and it is a painless treatment. You need to wear a protective covering over the treated area and you need to apply an ice pack for 20 minutes after the treatment.
Nail polish You can also remove skin tags with nail polish. Just follow these steps:
1. First of all, take a clear nail polish and paint the entire tag. After that, wait for about 3 hours, and then take the nail polish off.
2. Repeat this process every week to remove the skin tag. Freezing If you are worried about the side effects of the laser treatment, then you can use the freezing method. To do so, you need to apply some ice packs on the tag for 20 minutes. After that, you need to repeat the process once in a week. Surgery Sometimes you can’t avoid the side effects of the other treatments, so you can also opt for surgery. But you need to take some precautions before going for the surgery. You need to get a doctor’s advice first and then go for the surgery.
