Skin Tag Removal Treatment In Vizag - Dr Sovana - Visakhpatnam

kin tag removal treatments include surgical excision, cryotherapy (freezing), and electrocautery (burning). Other options are ligation (tying off the blood supply), laser removal, and radiofrequency ablation, all of which involve a medical professional cutting, burning, or freezing the tag off. It is best to have a doctor remove skin tags to ensure a safe procedure and proper aftercare to prevent infection.


Medical removal procedures-

Surgical Excision: A doctor uses a sterile scalpel or surgical scissors to cut the skin tag off at its base. This is a quick method and may involve local anesthesia.

Cryotherapy: A doctor applies liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag, destroying the tissue and causing it to fall off in a few days to a week.

Electrocautery: An electrical current is used to burn off the skin tag. This is effective for multiple growths and promotes fast healing.

Laser Removal: A laser beam is used to destroy the skin tag's tissue. This is often used for tags on the face due to the minimal risk of scarring.

Ligation: A surgical thread is tied around the base of the skin tag to cut off its blood supply, causing it to dry up and fall off.

Radiofrequency: A radiofrequency ablator uses radio waves to remove the growth.


Aftercare-
Keep the area clean and dry.
Avoid direct sun exposure during the healing period.
Apply antibiotic ointment if prescribed by your doctor.
Do not pick at the scab, and let it fall off naturally to ensure proper healing.
Monitor for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or pus.
