When it comes to skin tags you have quite a few options for getting rid of them. Whilst the exact cause remains a mystery, like all skin growths it tends to be hereditary and whether you are affected by it or not is completely out of your hands.

All you can do, is to look for the best possible skin tag treatment based on your unique condition.

One of the major concerns with removing these skin growths is the issue of scarring. Getting it removed with any surgical procedure requires relatively deep incisions (to ensure the entire tag gets removed) and this is why some people get small scars. Although lasers are far better than a scalpel its still not the best option for very visible parts of the body.

When large areas of your body is affected then surgical procedures is not a good idea. Not only will it be painful, but it can be quite expensive. In this case you might want to opt for natural remedies or homeopathic treatments that remove skin tags without any surgery. Its not as quick, but its completely pain free, safe and very inexpensive. Its also a great way to treat large areas of skin safely.

With more delicate areas you need to take special care. Many people develop skin tags on their eye lids, underarms or even in the groin area. The skin in these areas can be very sensitive and you should never use any harsh chemically based products for these. You can opt for surgery and depending on the actual tag size and shape it can be as easy as clipping the stalk. It does not always work though and often it grows back within a couple of weeks.

When most people think of skin tag treatment they think of some over the counter product and although there are many, most of them only contain very basic ingredients – ingredients that you can buy for one tenth of the price. You have options when it comes to skin tag treatment and regardless of the severity of your condition there is always a healthy and more gentle alternative to surgery or harsh chemical treatments. After all, its your skin and your beauty that’s at stake.

If you are unsure you can always speak to your doctor or a local nurse. Not only will they be able to provide you with more information but they will also be able to refer you to the right products or places.
