Welcome to City Dermatology Clinic, your trusted partner for private skin tag removal in the heart of London. Our team, led by some of London’s most skilled dermatology doctors, specialises in safe, efficient, and minimally invasive techniques to address and remove skin tags.
At City Dermatology Clinic, our experienced doctors offer surgical excision and cryotherapy services to safely and effectively remove skin tags, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction.
For this treatment, our doctors numb the area around the skin tag with local anesthesia, ensuring you’re comfortable and pain-free. Then, using a scalpel or surgical scissors, they carefully remove the skin tag, providing immediate results. This method is precise, clean, and effective, especially for larger skin tags. Surgical excision is ideal if you have larger skin tags or those in sensitive areas where precision is crucial. Our team is skilled in performing this procedure with minimal discomfort and excellent cosmetic outcomes, regardless of the skin tag’s location.
In this advanced treatment, our doctors use a specialised probe heated by electric current to burn away the skin tag, cauterising the area simultaneously to prevent bleeding. This method is highly precise, allowing for the targeted removal of the skin tag with minimal impact on surrounding skin. Electrocautery is excellent for removing small to medium skin tags, especially in areas where aesthetics are a concern, such as your face or neck. It’s also an effective option for addressing multiple skin tags in a single session. Our doctors will evaluate if this technique is the most appropriate for your specific needs.
At City Dermatology Clinic, prioritising our patients’ comfort and convenience without compromising on the effectiveness of treatments is paramount. Our sophisticated skin tag removal techniques are designed to minimise recovery time, enabling patients to promptly return to their gym routines and daily activities with no downtime required. Following the procedure, it’s normal for a scab to form over the treated area, which is a crucial part of the healing process. Allowing this scab to naturally detach is essential for achieving the best cosmetic results, avoiding picking or scratching to ensure minimal to no scarring and usually eliminating the need for stitches. Opting for professional care guarantees a safe and effective procedure, alongside expert aftercare advice and prevention tips to maintain optimal skin health. Trust our expertise for a careful and efficient skin tag removal, allowing you to confidently and comfortably resume your everyday life.
Small, benign, soft, flesh-colored growths that often appear on a stalk. Commonly found in areas of skin friction such as the neck, armpits, groin, and under the breasts. They vary in size from a few millimeters up to 5cm.
Also known as an eyelid skin tag or acrochordon, these are small, soft, flesh-colored growths found on the eyelids. They are identical in nature to skin tags found on other body parts, posing no harm but potentially affecting aesthetic appearance or comfort.
Benign, flesh-colored growths that can be slightly larger than common skin tags. They have a stalk (pedunculated) and are soft to touch, often appearing in areas of skin fold such as the neck, armpits, and groin.
While not a skin tag, filiform warts are thin, thread-like warts that commonly appear on the face, especially around the eyelids, lips, and neck. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and differ from skin tags in origin and treatment.
Larger, more elongated skin tags that hang from the skin surface by a thin stalk. They are soft, flesh-colored, and commonly appear in areas of high friction. They share the same benign nature as common acrochordons but are notable for their pendulous or dangling appearance.
A skin tag, medically known as an acrochordon, is a small, benign, flesh-colored growth that typically appears on the skin’s surface in areas prone to friction, such as the neck, armpits, groin, eyelids, and under the breasts. These growths can vary in size from very small to as large as a grape and are characterised by their soft, pendulous nature, often hanging from the skin by a narrow stalk. While skin tags pose no health risk, many individuals seek removal for cosmetic reasons or because they cause discomfort when they rub against clothing or jewelry.
The removal process for skin tags can vary depending on their size and location but typically involves surgical methods that are both quick and minimally invasive. Small skin tags may be removed via cryotherapy (freezing), while larger ones might require surgical excision or electrocautery (burning) to ensure a clean and safe removal. Our private dermatology clinic offers these services with a focus on minimising discomfort and promoting quick healing, allowing individuals to return to their daily activities with little to no downtime. When choosing City Dermatology Clinic for skin tag removal, it’s important to remember that we prioritise patient care and employ skilled professionals familiar with the latest surgical techniques to achieve the best outcomes.
Typically, skin tags are small, benign outgrowths that match your skin color or are slightly darker.
They feel soft and can be moved or wiggled back and forth.
Often attached to the skin by a narrow stalk (peduncle), giving them a characteristic dangling appearance.
Skin tags are usually painless and non-irritating under normal conditions.
They can vary in size from a pinpoint to as large as a grape.
Frequently found in areas of friction such as the neck, armpits, under the breasts, groin, and eyelids.
The exact causes of skin tags remain somewhat elusive, but they are believed to be linked to several contributing factors. Friction is considered a primary factor, with skin tags often appearing in areas where skin rubs against itself or clothing, such as the neck, armpits, under the breasts, groin, and eyelids.
Choosing professional skin tag removal at a clinic like City Dermatology Clinic is highly recommended over home remedies. Professional removal, conducted by experienced dermatologists or plastic surgeons, is safe, precise, and minimally invasive, ensuring complete removal with a low risk of scarring or infection. This is particularly crucial for tags in sensitive or visible areas, such as the face, where cosmetic outcomes are important. In contrast, home remedies and over-the-counter products pose risks of incomplete removal, infection, and potential damage to surrounding skin. Moreover, a professional evaluation is essential to confirm the growth is a benign skin tag and not a symptom of another condition.
Additionally, professional treatment offers the advantage of access to advanced removal techniques and post-treatment care advice tailored to your skin’s needs. Dermatologists can also provide guidance on preventing future skin tags and address any underlying skin conditions that may contribute to their development. Opting for professional treatment ensures that you are not only treating the current issue but also taking a step towards overall skin health and wellness, with support from experts who understand the nuances of skin care. This comprehensive approach is something home remedies cannot offer, highlighting the importance of seeking professional care for skin tag removal.

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.
Yes, our doctors will apply liquid nitrogen directly to your skin tag using a precise application method, such as a spray or a cotton swab. This quick, almost instantaneous freezing action causes the skin tag to fall off naturally within one to two weeks. The entire process is swift and efficient, ensuring minimal discomfort. This method is particularly effective for small to medium-sized skin tags and is often recommended for those located in areas with delicate skin, like your neck or underarms. Our doctors will assess if cryotherapy is the best option for your specific situation.
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.
