FAQ – Skin Tag Removal Problems & Solutions

What causes skin tags to form?

Skin tags often develop due to friction, genetics, hormonal changes, or weight fluctuations. They’re also more common in adults and people with diabetes.

How does skin tag removal work?

At AverageDerm, our dermatology specialists use safe, minimally invasive techniques such as cryotherapy (freezing), cauterization (burning), or snip excision to remove skin tags quickly and effectively.

Is the procedure painful?

Skin tag removal is usually painless. A numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

How long does it take to remove a skin tag?

The removal process is fast — typically just a few minutes per skin tag, depending on the size and number of tags being treated.

Will removing a skin tag leave a scar?

In most cases, no. Our dermatologists use advanced, gentle techniques that minimize the risk of scarring or skin discoloration.

Can skin tags grow back after removal?

Once a skin tag is removed, it usually does not grow back in the same spot. However, new skin tags can develop over time due to the same factors that caused the originals.
