What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags, which are also known as acrochordons, are soft growths on the body which are usually the color of the skin or darker. They are usually pedunculated which means that they hang on a stalk.

Skin tags usually develop on the neck, groin, under the arms, breasts, bottom and other places where the skin rubs on itself.

The cause of skin tags is not known though they are associated with the following conditions:

*Obesity

*Type 2 diabetes since insulin resistance causes more skin tags to grow

*Pregnancy

*Metabolic syndrome

Skin tags are common growths which are usually painless and harmless. However they need to be removed if they begin bleeding, become painful or increase in size.

Skin Tag Removal in Nairobi Kenya

At Almasi Skincare we offer skin tag removal in Nairobi Kenya using several methods like surgical excision and cauterization. This is done after the area is numbed to ensure that you do not feel pain. This process of skin tag removal takes less than 1 hour from start to finish.

It is important to note that skin tags can also be removed by other methods like cryotherapy or freezing them.

Regardless of the method used, skin tags do not usually recur after their removal. However their removal can result in scarring and darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation).

It is important to see a doctor for skin tag removal as some moles and warts can be confused for skin tags which results in the wrong treatment. Therefore consult a specialist to ensure that you get the correct treatment for your skin condition. This is especially important for moles since some moles can be a sign of cancer.
