by Michael Ham |

Feel confident in your skin again

Skin Tag or Tab

Skin tags (also called skin tabs) are common and unsightly. They are soft harmless lesions that grow all over our bodies. Most people try to hide these irritating tiny tumors because they feel embarrassed. DermTexas wants you to look your absolute best by offering...

Experienced skin tag removal

Skin tag removals are a simple and almost pain free procedure with a board certified dermatologist, like Dr. Kelly Warren, MD of Derm Texas. 

Skin tags do not affect your health. But they can be unsightly. A majority of adults will develop one or more of these harmless little skin growths in their lifetime. You’re more likely than not, to end up with one of these repulsive protuberances somewhere on your body.

Women are prone to ugly skin tags

Most common skin tag locations include your neck, armpits, groin or under-breast area.  Women are especially prone to these hideous growths due to hormone fluctuations that occur, especially during pregnancy or weight gain.

A growth that appears to be a skin tag may be something else more serious

Example of skin tag or tab

The staff at Derm Texas may use a familiar method called cryosurgery. This might sound cryptic and intimidating but it is routinely very safe. Nevertheless, it usually should be performed or supervised by a trained professional.

Bottom-line, this process simply freezes the skin tag using liquid nitrogen. On some occasions, a growth that looks like a skin tag may be something else, like a wart, skin disease or skin cancer. A dermatologist will usually be able to provide an accurate diagnosis. 

Don't delay feeling better about your appearance and skin health. Derm Texas is ready to serve you.
