Skin Tag Removal
Painless, same-day removal of skin tags from neck, eyelids, underarms, groin and chest using radiofrequency or fine cautery.
What is Skin Tag Removal?
Skin tags (acrochordons) are small, soft, benign skin growths that hang off the skin by a thin stalk. They typically appear on the neck, eyelids, underarms, groin, under breasts and inner thighs — areas of friction. They are extremely common, especially with age, weight gain, pregnancy, diabetes and family history. While completely harmless, they can be cosmetically bothersome, catch on jewellery and clothing, or get irritated by friction.
At Orange Skin Clinic, Tirunelveli, we offer quick, same-day removal with multiple precise techniques. Radiofrequency ablation is our most common approach — a fine probe delivers controlled energy to vaporise the tag at its base, with minimal bleeding and clean healing. Fine cautery is used for very small tags. Snip excision with sterile scissors suits pedunculated tags. Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen freezes selected tags. CO₂ laser is reserved for delicate areas like eyelids near the lash line.
The procedure is performed under topical anaesthesia (with a tiny local injection for larger tags), takes 5–15 minutes depending on the number of tags, and is essentially painless. We can typically treat 20–40 small tags in one session. Healing takes 5–7 days and most patients return to work the same day.
Aftercare is simple — antibiotic ointment for 5 days, avoid water on the area for 24 hours, and sun protection over the healing site for 4 weeks to minimise pigmentation. Final results are usually a small flat mark that fades over 1–3 months.
We also evaluate skin tags for associated conditions — multiple skin tags can be a marker of insulin resistance / metabolic syndrome / pre-diabetes. We screen high-risk patients and refer for management when indicated, because addressing the underlying issue reduces new tag formation.
