City Dermatology Clinic Dubai offers safe, effective skin tag removal for all areas of the body.
Located in the heart of Jumeirah, our clinic provides discreet, same-day treatment options using minimally invasive techniques designed to remove skin tags quickly and comfortably. Whether you’re seeking removal for cosmetic reasons or due to irritation from clothing or jewellery, our dermatology team ensures a smooth, scar-minimising experience with minimal downtime. We treat skin tags on the neck, underarms, eyelids, chest, groin, and other sensitive areas, all with precision and care.
At City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, we offer several effective options for skin tag removal, tailored to your skin type, location of the tag, and cosmetic preferences. All treatments are performed under local anaesthesia where needed, with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
Electrocautery is one of the most common and effective methods for removing skin tags. It involves using controlled heat to gently burn away the skin tag at its base, sealing the skin in the process to reduce bleeding and promote healing. This method is ideal for skin tags on the neck, underarms, chest, or groin, and offers a fast, walk-in-walk-out experience with minimal scarring.
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze off the skin tag, causing it to dry out and fall away within days. It’s a quick, non-invasive option typically used for smaller skin tags or those in less sensitive areas. Some patients may require a second session, depending on the size and location.
For larger or more stubborn skin tags, we may recommend snip excision, which involves cutting the tag at the base using sterile scissors. This technique is performed under local anaesthetic and is especially suitable for tags that have a thicker stalk or have been irritated. Healing is quick, and a small dressing is applied afterward.
| Type of Skin Tag | Symptoms |
|---|---|
| Common Skin Tags | Soft, flesh-coloured growths that hang off the skin. Often found on the neck, underarms, or groin. |
| Irritated Skin Tags | Tags that have become red, swollen, or painful due to rubbing from clothing or jewellery. |
| Pedunculated Tags | Skin tags attached by a thin stalk. Easily moveable and commonly removed by snip excision. |
| Flat Skin Tags | Smaller, slightly raised lesions that don’t hang but still cause irritation or cosmetic concern. |
| Multiple Skin Tags | A cluster of small tags often seen in areas like the underarms or neck, especially in people with insulin resistance or friction-prone skin. |

Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are small, benign, soft skin growths that often appear on areas of the body where skin rubs against skin or clothing, such as the neck, armpits, and groin. They are composed of loose collagen fibers and blood vessels surrounded by skin. While skin tags are harmless and not contagious, many individuals choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or because they cause discomfort.
Skin tags are a common skin condition, affecting approximately 50-60% of adults by their mid-life. These benign growths typically start as small, flat, pinhead-sized bumps and can range in size from 2 mm to 1 cm, with some even reaching up to 5 cm. Their prevalence means that a significant number of individuals will consider skin tag removal options at some point, either for cosmetic reasons or comfort.
While we offer two types of skin tag removal at City Dermatology Clinic, both take around 30 minutes at maximum based on the amount and size of the skin tag. If your schedule allows, we can also remove it on the same day of your consultation.
Preparation for skin tag removal is straightforward. We recommend keeping the area clean and avoiding the application of any creams or lotions on the day of the procedure. You should also inform your doctor of any medications you are taking or any skin conditions that might affect healing. If you have any concerns or questions, it’s best to discuss them with your doctor before the procedure.
At City Dermatology Clinic, our experienced dermatologists and plastic surgeons prioritise your comfort during the skin tag removal process. By using local anaesthesia or liquid nitrogen, we ensure the procedure is both effective and minimally discomforting. With over a decade of experience, our team has perfected painless removal techniques, making the experience as smooth as possible for our patients.
After the procedure, a small scab will form over the treated area. It is crucial not to pick at this scab to ensure optimal healing. Typically, the scab will naturally fall off within a week, revealing clear, cosmetically appealing skin underneath. City Dermatology Clinic also offers a complimentary follow-up consultation with our cosmetic doctors to ensure your skin has healed properly and to address any concerns.
Following the removal of a skin tag at our clinic, patients may notice a temporary dot or mark in the treated area. This is a normal part of the healing process and will gradually fade over time, leaving the skin smooth and clear. Our cosmetic doctors are committed to achieving the best possible aesthetic outcomes, ensuring any temporary markings are minimal and inconspicuous.
Skin tags are non-cancerous (benign) and typically pose no medical threat. However, any changes in size, color, or shape should be evaluated by a dermatologist to rule out other skin conditions, including skin cancer. It’s essential to consult a medical professional if a skin tag becomes painful, itchy, or bleeds.
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the skin tag removal procedure. The treatment area may be covered with a small bandage, and if there’s any mild discomfort, it can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your doctor to ensure optimal healing.
Skin tags do not usually require treatment as they are benign and harmless. However, they can become irritated by clothing, jewelry, or when shaving. If a skin tag is bothersome, removal is a simple and effective option. There are no significant health risks associated with leaving skin tags untreated.
In most cases, skin tags can be removed in a single session. The method of removal—whether it be snipping, freezing, or burning—usually ensures complete removal in one visit. However, if you have multiple skin tags or if a skin tag is particularly large, additional sessions may be necessary.
Once a skin tag is removed, it does not grow back. However, new skin tags can form on other parts of the body. If you’re prone to skin tags, regular check-ups with your dermatologist can help manage and remove new growths before they become bothersome.
