Cutaneous tags, also known as skin tags or acrochordons, are small, benign growths of skin that often appear in areas where the skin rubs against itself or clothing. While skin tags are generally harmless, some individuals may choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or if they cause irritation. There are several methods for cutaneous tag removal, and the choice of treatment depends on factors such as the size and location of the tag, as well as personal preference.
It's important to note that attempting to remove skin tags at home without proper knowledge or sterile instruments may lead to infection or scarring. It is recommended to have skin tags removed by a healthcare professional, such as a dermatologist or general practitioner.
