A Not-So Fun Game of Tag

April 3rd, 2014
Knoxville Dermatology Group

Tag, you’re it! That’s how it can feel with skin tags. They seem to pop up and it can feel like you’re stuck with them.

A little friction seems to be the culprit – skin rubbing against skin pushes the excess skin into a “bud” or “tag”. These tags show up on your neck, underarms or eyelids and can form multiple growths at a time. Yes they are harmless, but they can be cumbersome.

If they are particularly cumbersome, removal is an option. One of our dermatologists can talk to you about the best methods for removing skin tags so feel free to schedule an appointment today!

If you have any questions about skin tags or about changes in your skin, please call us today at 865-690-9467. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.
