Skin tags are benign growths that can be safely removed through medical treatments.

Medical Skin Tag Removal Methods:

• Cryotherapy (Freezing) – Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and remove the tag.
• Electrocautery (Burning) – Uses heat to burn off the tag and seal the skin.
• Excision (Cutting) – A doctor removes the tag with sterile scissors or a scalpel.
• Ligation – A small surgical thread is tied around the tag to cut off blood supply, causing it to fall off naturally.
