How To Treat Skin Tags

Burning It Off

A skin tag can be gently burned off with a treatment called electrocauterization. This technique is usually used for serious skin conditions that need immediate removal, like cancer. In cancer cases or others where the skin growths are severe or contain unhealthy cells, the procedure is known as cauterization. Electrocauterization is a milder form of cauterization, where a handheld device is used to heat the unwanted tissues. The device uses electricity to generate the level of heat necessary to remove the skin tag. Burning it off only takes one or two treatments, and no recovery time is necessary. There's also a surgical method available to remove skin tags by burning them off with heat.
