Skin Tag Removal Cambridge

Skin tags are extremely common, and most people will develop at least one during their lifetime. Although they are harmless, they can sometimes catch on clothing, become irritated or affect how you feel about your skin. When this happens, having them professionally removed can make a real difference to your comfort and confidence.

Skin tags are small, soft growths that can appear on the neck, under the arms, around the breasts, on the eyelids or in other skin folds. While they are generally harmless, removal must be carried out safely and by someone with the right expertise. In Cambridge, many patients choose to have their skin tags removed by a specialist for both reassurance and the quality of the final result.

Dr Ahid Abood is an NHS consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon with extensive experience in removing skin tags, moles, cysts and other benign skin lesions. His training and surgical background mean that procedures are performed with precision, care and a strong focus on achieving the neatest possible outcome.

At the Cambridge clinic, your well-being is the priority. You will receive clear, honest guidance at every stage, from your initial assessment to aftercare. Whether you are seeking removal for comfort, cosmetic reasons or both, you can feel confident knowing you are in experienced hands.

If you are considering removing a skin tag, it is important to seek advice from a qualified medical professional. Skin tags may look simple, but attempting to remove them yourself can lead to bleeding, infection, scarring, or, in some cases, misidentification of a lesion that is not a skin tag at all. Consulting an experienced plastic surgeon or doctor ensures the growth is properly assessed and safely removed.

Although the beauty industry often advertises treatments such as electrolysis, freezing or burning, these methods can have drawbacks. They may only remove part of the skin tag, meaning it can return, and they can sometimes lead to skin irritation, discolouration or incomplete results. Many of these non-medical treatments require multiple sessions, which can become costly and still may not fully resolve the problem.

At a medical clinic, skin tag removal is typically quick, precise and carried out under local anaesthetic, ensuring comfort and safety throughout. The procedure is designed to remove the tag completely while minimising trauma to the surrounding skin. Choosing a trained medical practitioner also means you receive proper aftercare guidance and reassurance that the lesion has been handled correctly.
