Say Goodbye to Skin Tags: Safe and Easy At-Home Cryotherapy Solution

If you notice a skin growth or developing skin tag, you'll want to consider options quickly. From liquid nitrogen to surgical scissors, the treatment options will seem daunting. However, thanks to advancements in at-home cryotherapy, you can choose a painless, quick, and effective treatment. 

Here's everything you need to know about cryotherapy as a treatment.

What Is Cryotherapy, and How Does It Work?

Cryotherapy, sometimes called “cold therapy,” is a medical treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy abnormal skin cells. 

This method is commonly used by dermatologists to treat a variety of skin conditions, including warts, moles, and skin tags. By applying freezing temperatures directly to the unwanted tissue, it causes cells to freeze and ultimately break down, allowing healthy tissue to regenerate in its place.

What Is a Skin Tag?

Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin, such as the neck, underarms, chest, and groin. They’re usually flesh-colored, soft to the touch, and attached to the skin by a thin stalk. These growths, though harmless, can be bothersome and may catch on clothing or jewelry, leading to discomfort.

Characteristics of a Skin Tag

• Similar in color to your surrounding skin
• Soft and flexible to the touch
• Raised and attached by a small stalk or stem
• Typically found in areas like the neck, chest, underarms, or groin

Skin Tag, Wart or Mole?

Skin tags will often be confused for other skin growths like moles and warts. To tell them apart, look at their texture and attachment. Skin tags are soft, flesh-colored, and dangle from the skin by a thin stalk, often in areas of friction. Moles are usually flat or raised, have a smooth texture, and are pigmented (brown, black, or flesh-colored), appearing anywhere on the body. Warts have a rough, grainy surface and a cauliflower-like texture, often appearing on hands or feet. Unlike moles and skin tags, warts are caused by a virus and can spread, while skin tags and moles are typically harmless and stable.

Options for Skin Tag Removal

If you do have a skin tag, there are several options for removal:

• Surgical Removal: Dermatologists can remove skin tags through minor surgery, though this is usually reserved for larger or problematic skin tags.
• Over-the-Counter Treatments: There are various at-home treatments for skin tag removal, many of which use chemical-based solutions.
• Cryotherapy: This is one of the most effective and safe methods for skin tag removal, as it allows you to target the skin tag precisely without impacting surrounding healthy skin.
