How Skin Tag Removal Works
The method of Skin tag removal depends on size and location. Small tags may be treated with electrosurgery or liquid nitrogen. Larger ones are removed surgically under local anaesthetic.
Healing usually takes one to two weeks. Patients should wear loose clothing and inform us of medications or allergies. Aftercare involves keeping the area clean and applying Vaseline or antibiotic ointment.
Eyelid Skin Tag Removal
Tags near the eyes are handled with extra care, using anaesthetic cream before injection. While a small scar may remain, discomfort is minimal, and the process is tailored to be efficient, discreet, and minimally disruptive to daily life.
Benefits of Skin Tag Removal & Patient Satisfaction
For many patients, skin tag removal brings relief, physically and emotionally. What seemed small was often a daily irritation: rubbing against collars, catching on necklaces, or causing embarrassment in visible areas. After removal, patients frequently express a sense of ease and renewed confidence in their appearance.
The feedback we receive is consistently positive. Many say they wish they’d done it sooner.
Though benign, skin tags can impact comfort and quality of life. Their removal is a small act with a big effect, restoring not only smooth skin, but also a quiet sense of self-assurance.

What Causes Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, benign growths on the surface of the skin. Though the exact cause isn’t fully understood, factors like age, friction, genetics, and weight may contribute. There are epidermal and dermal growth factors that seem to be responsible. They’re not infectious or dangerous, but can become irritated, caught on clothing or jewellery, or multiply over time.
While removal isn’t always medically necessary, many patients choose it for comfort or appearance. At the Thomas Clinic, there’s never pressure, just clarity and support.
Common Areas for Skin Tags
Skin tags most often appear in areas of friction, such as:
-
Around the neck
-
Armpits
-
Groin area
Clothing, skin folds, or jewellery can cause irritation, especially under collars or straps.
Visible areas like the neck or face can cause embarrassment and prompt removal sooner.
At the Thomas Clinic, treatment is tailored to the location and size of the lesion, ensuring minimal discomfort and maximum discretion. If a skin tag is bothering you physically or emotionally, even a small one, it’s worth addressing with private, tentative care.
Eyelid Skin Tags
Eyelid tags are less clearly understood, but may be linked to genetic factors. Skin tags on the eyelids are less common, but they can be particularly bothersome due to their visibility and sensitivity.
At the Thomas Clinic, procedures near the eye are carried out with exceptional care, combining medical precision and cosmetic awareness to ensure you feel safe, supported, and pleased with the result.
Some patients hesitate due to fear of discomfort or scarring, but with proper technique, treatment is safe and straightforward. We often apply anaesthetic cream, ensuring comfort throughout. Healing usually takes 4–5 days, and visible marks are minimal.
