Skin tags can be removed through various methods, including cryotherapy (freezing), cauterization (burning), excision (cutting), and laser removal. A healthcare professional should perform these procedures to minimize the risk of infection or scarring. While some home remedies like tea tree oil exist, their effectiveness is not well-established and they may cause irritation. Cryotherapy: Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze the skin tag, causing it to eventually fall off. This is a quick and relatively simple procedure often done in-office. Cauterization: Heat is applied to burn off the skin tag, typically done by a healthcare professional. Excision: The skin tag is cut off using scissors or a scalpel. Laser Removal: A laser is used to vaporize the skin tag, offering precision and minimal damage to surrounding skin. Ligation: A surgical thread is tied at the base of the skin tag to cut off blood supply, causing it to dry up and fall off.
