Skin Tags are small benign tumours that form primarily in areas where the skin forms creases, such as the neck, armpits and groin area. They can also be found in some cases on the torso and the face, often the eyelids. They range in size from two to five millimeters, although larger ones have been seen. The surface of skin tags may be smooth or irregular in appearance. Often they are raised from the surface of the skin on a fleshy stalk called a peduncle. They can also have a short neck and appear quite flat but still are fleshy to the touch. Skin tags are harmless, although they are sometimes irritated by clothing or jewellery.
There are a number of procedures that can be used to remove them, however although a minor medical procedure and considered cosmetic, Doctors are usually reluctant to offer this service. Some beauty salons may employ highly qualified beauty therapists with advanced training in this field and they would use the cauterization method, ( advanced electrolysis ). ****** ADVANCED ELECTROLYSIS ( CAUTERIZATION ) IS AVAILABLE AT THERAPEUTIX ******
