Skin Tag Removal?
by johnny223, Nov 14, 2007 04:49AM
Ok, first off let me mention that I had a circumcision about 5 months ago. Everything seems to be normal except there are several skin tags all lined up on one side where it was cut. The circumcision healing process is pretty much complete and the skin has bonded. I do want to get rid of those annoying skin tags though and I read about a removal product called Dermatend. Should this product be trusted?

Whether this is skin tags or not would require a clinical examination by a certified physician.
Skin tags are extensions of all the layers of the skin and are caused by obesity, diabetes or other causes.
Treatment options include-
# Cauterization: with an electrolysis instrument
# Cryosurgery (freezing)
# Ligation: cutting off blood supply
# Excision: with a scalpel, or other surgical instruments.

Skin tags are harmless, although they are sometimes irritated by clothing or jewelry and can interfere with shaving and other routine grooming. Why and how skin tags form is not entirely known, but there are correlations with age and obesity.
Do not use any products without consulting your physician.
Since when have you noticed this? Is there any associated rash or itching etc?
