July 22nd, 2005 by admin | Filed under Uncategorized.A skin tag is a growth which consists of a bit of skin that
is protruding from the body. Often they are more commonly
found in areas of wrinkled skin or folds of skin on the body
such as armpits, sides of the neck and in the groin area.
Also they can be found on a person’s eyelids or around their
eyes. In this article we will at a number of different types
of skin tag treatment that are available.
Skin tags are a common condition but often occur to people
who are middle aged or older. They develop in both men and
women as they grow older and they can either be skin colored
or darker and they can range in size from 1mm to 5mm.
Although they are a benign condition they do look unsightly.
There are many treatments available for dealing with skin
tags and in this article we will look at two of them.
1. Home Remedies
One form of treating skin tags is readily available and is
applied topically on to the area either using a Q-tip or
your finger. It uses anti-viral oils which have been
proven to effectively and gently remove skin tags. One oil
used is tea tree oil but keep in mind this is very concentrated
and it must be used a few times a day for the
skin tag to be eliminated. When using such a product
it is important that you read the instructions that come
with it fully. A second home remedy for skin tags is
to increase one’s B vitamin dosage.
2. Surgical Treatment
The treatments often used for treating skin tags include
excision with scissors, cautery or cryotherapy (where liquid
nitrogen is used). Cryotherapy is where cold is introduced
through a probe which has liquid nitrogen circulating
through it. In order to destroy the diseased tissue it must be
cooled to below -20 degree celisus.
As you can see skin tag treatment can be quite painless and
if you should suffer from them it is best that you talk with
your doctor about finding the best way to eliminate them.
