What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags (medically known as acrochordons) are small, benign growths that hang off the skin. They are:

• Soft and flesh-colored
• Usually 1-5mm in size
• Connected to the skin by a thin stalk (peduncle)
• Completely harmless (benign)
• Cosmetic concern for many people

Important: While skin tags are harmless, any change or suspicious growth should be evaluated by a dermatologist.

Skin Tag Removal Methods

We offer 3 proven methods for safe, effective removal. Dr. Alsalih will recommend the best option based on your specific case.
