We also have several ways we use to remove skin tags, one of which is cryotherapy, whereby we freeze the skin tag, and it detaches from the skin without causing any pain. This method is often fast and can be done in the dental office without the use of an anaesthetic. If the skin tag is quite large or if the dermatologist feels that the skin tag needs to be removed very carefully, then the skin tag may be removed through surgery. This way, we are confident that all of it is eliminated and the possibility of the problem resurfacing is lessened.
