Skin tags are a common skin condition that can be bothersome or unsightly, and many people seek removal for cosmetic or comfort reasons. At Revitalise London Dermatology Clinic, our Consultant Dermatologists provide safe and effective skin tag removal procedures using the latest techniques. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what patients can expect after skin tag removal at our clinic.
Skin Tag Removal Procedure
Skin tag removal at Revitalise London Dermatology Clinic is a quick and straightforward procedure that can be done in the office. Our dermatologists use various techniques such as surgical excision, cryotherapy, or electrocautery to remove skin tags safely and effectively. The method used will depend on the size, location, and number of skin tags to be removed.
After Skin Tag Removal
After the procedure, patients can expect some mild discomfort, redness, and swelling in the treated area. However, this should subside within a few days. The dermatologist will provide specific instructions on how to care for the treated area, which may include keeping the area clean and dry, applying topical ointments or creams, and avoiding certain activities that may irritate the skin.
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure, but it is essential to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that cause sweating or friction in the treated area for a few days.
Patients should also avoid picking at the treated area or scratching it, as this can cause infection or scarring. The dermatologist will schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor the healing process and ensure there are no complications.
