Skin tags have usually been present for many years. They can get traumatised and can then change in size. Removal is relatively straightforward and usually performed with just a local anaesthetic. As they tend to have a narrow base, removal usually leaves a small scar which is much less noticable than the original skin tag. The tag that was removed is then sent to a pathologist who will examine it under a microscope in order to tell us the exact type of skin tag it was. This is done as a precaution for all tags removed as a routine. 

Our peaceful and relaxed environment here at the centre will allow you to have your surgery in as comfortable an environment as possible. You can lay back and watch a movie on our ceiling-mounted screens tucked in with a warm blanket whilst we perform your surgery.
