If you have a troublesome skin tag, Northway Clinic can help. Our expert dermatology team offers safe, careful removal at our private London clinic. We can remove skin tags in various areas of the body using a range of innovative techniques – all designed to leave your skin looking and feeling smooth.
When does a skin tag need to be removed?
Skin tags are a common and usually harmless skin concern. However, if a skin tag is bothering you, you might want to consider having it removed, especially if it’s affecting your comfort or confidence.
You might choose to have your skin tag removed if:
- It’s affecting your self-esteem
- It catches on clothes or jewellery
- You simply don’t like how it looks
While skin tags don’t usually cause symptoms, please let us know if yours is itchy, painful or bleeding – that way we can make sure it’s nothing more serious. Rest assured: skin tags are not contagious.
Never try to remove skin tags yourself, as doing so may lead to heavy bleeding, infection or scarring. It’s always safest (and most comfortable) to have your skin tag professionally removed in a clean, clinical setting.
Your skin tag removal journey with Northway Clinic
Northway Clinic offers two types of skin tag removal: cryotherapy and surgical removal. During a comprehensive consultation, we’ll let you know which option is right for you.
We’ll provide personalised skin tag removal and offer thorough aftercare advice to ensure you can support your skin health and recovery.
What happens during skin tag removal?
When you arrive for your appointment, our friendly team will greet you and make you feel at ease. We’ll then guide you to the treatment room, where we’ll prepare you for the minor procedure. To ensure your comfort, we’ll numb the area before carefully removing the skin tag, either by gently cutting it with a surgical scalpel or freezing it using a special cryotherapy tool.
We take every care to make the skin tag removal process as pain-free as possible, and we will be with you at every step. Our team will explain the procedure in detail, so you can feel relaxed and confident throughout your experience with Northway Clinic.
After your skin tag removal and recovery
After your skin tag has been removed, we’ll provide you with tailored aftercare advice based on the type of treatment you’ve received. Over the next couple of days, the treated area will form a scab, which will naturally fall off within a few weeks.
Once the scab has gone, there may be a slight mark left on the skin, but it should fade quickly and should not result in noticeable scarring.

Skin tag removal frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What causes skin tags?
Skin tags form when your body produces extra skin cells, often in areas where your skin experiences frequent rubbing or friction. They commonly appear in places like the armpits, eyelids, neck, under the breasts, groin and inner thighs.
Can a skin tag come back after removal?
Generally, once a skin tag is removed, it does not come back. However, new skin tags can develop in the same area or elsewhere over time. While treatment removes existing skin tags, it will not prevent new ones from forming.
Is skin tag removal painful?
We’ll ensure that the area of removal is completely numb before starting your treatment, to keep any discomfort to a minimum. If you have concerns or feel anxious about potential pain, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Our team will do everything we can to ensure that you feel comfortable and at ease during your procedure.
What’s the difference between a skin tag and a mole?
Skin tags and moles are both common types of skin growths, but they have some key differences. Skin tags are usually soft and the same colour as your skin. They tend to hang from the skin in areas of friction. Moles, on the other hand, are pigmented – meaning they may be different colours from your skin, like brown, black or even reddish. Moles can be flat or raised and can appear anywhere on the body.
Another key difference is that skin tags are usually harmless, while moles (especially those that change in appearance) should be monitored, as they can sometimes be a sign of skin cancer.
