Skin Tag Removal at Spadana
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, benign growths of soft, loose skin — often flesh-colored or slightly darker — that commonly appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing: underarms, neck, eyelids, groin folds, etc. Though harmless medically, they can be irritating, unsightly, or catch on clothing or jewelry.
