Minor skin procedures
Skin tag assessment and removal.
Skin tags are common, but it is important to confirm that a lesion is suitable for simple removal before arranging a procedure.
Specialist consultation
Assessment guides the next step.
Assessment considers the diagnosis, number, size and location of the lesions, as well as any medicines or health factors relevant to a procedure.
Reception will arrange the appropriate consultation or procedure time once the clinical requirements are clear.
What to know
Simple-looking lesions still deserve a check.
Skin tags are usually harmless and commonly occur where skin rubs. Removal may be considered when the diagnosis is clear and they catch, bleed or cause irritation, or when appearance is a concern.
Common questions
Answers to common questions.
Will removal leave a mark?
Any removal can leave a mark or colour change. The expected result depends on the size, site and method, and will be discussed before treatment.
Can multiple skin tags be treated?
Often, but the number and location affect appointment length. Assessment allows reception to reserve the right amount of time.
