Skin tag removal

[JohnnyJazz]

I have a couple of skin tag under the arm pits that kind of annoy me for a few years already. Today I went to visit my dentist at a nearby hospital so I asked the reception desk which service I should visit to remove them. They advised me to make appointment with the surgery department. I'm a bit surprised, I thought a dermatologist would be more appropriate. Has anybody experience of this kind of medical operations ?

Cosmetic surgery dept usually does that sort of thing.

Don't know where you are but,

CM RAM will remove up to 6 assorted lumps and bumps for around 3kbht.

Skin tags are easy, just a quick zap with an electrical device.

Larger chunks get cut out then zapped.

All very quick and painless, no bleeding.

Walk in and done there and then.

Yes.

I've had some removed in the past, some by electrocauterization and a couple surgically removed (sliced off) and cauterized after. That was by dermatologists. I had some done in the US and that may have been a general surgeon or practitioner but too long to remember.

I have one under my arm and it's been there for years, always wondered what it was. Thank you all! It's painless so I'll have a think about it.

Information on skin tags for those interested.

Medlineplus

Treatment is often not needed. Your doctor may recommend treatment if the skin tag is irritating, or you don't like how it looks. Treatment may include:

• Surgery to remove it
• Freezing it (cryotherapy)
• Burning it off (cauterization)

Went to Chaophya Hospital today to visit a relative. When I arrived I noticed in the hall a promotion for a similar package as CM RAM (post#2), up to 6 skin tags removed by CO2 laser for 2,500 Bahts. One hour later I was chatting with my relative with all these annoying tags gone.
