Skin Tag Removal Brighton

Skin tags are lightly-coloured growths that hang off the skin, sometimes causing embarrassment or irritation for those who have them. They are usually harmless and can be removed often without complication.  

Skin tags vary in size and are commonly found in areas such as the neck, groin, armpits, eyelids, under the breasts and in the folds of the buttocks. Skin tags can develop suddenly, since they are made of loose collagen fibres and blood vessels, found naturally in the body. 

Some conditions make people more prone to skin tags such as obesity and pregnancy, however oftentimes skin tags can develop for no apparent reason.

Although skin tags are harmless and usually go unnoticed, many people choose to opt for skin tag removal if they are experiencing issues with self esteem or discomfort as a result of their skin tags. Skin tag removal is considered to be cosmetic surgery, and should be carried out by an experienced professional since some skin tags require surgical removal.
