Skin Tags, milia, warts and moles bother many people in Singapore. The hot and humid weather does not help. Many want to remove skin tags.
A skin tag is a tiny bit of skin that sticks out. Skin tags are a common type of harmless skin growth that usually doesn’t hurt and isn’t harmful. Fat, collagen fibres, nerve cells, and small blood vessels are what makes them up. A skin tag happens when collagen fibres and blood vessels get stuck in a layer of skin. Skin tags are soft fibromas or fibroepithelial polyps doctors. They are also known as acrochordons.
WHY DO WE GET SKIN TAGS?
Skin tags are usually caused by friction between skin surfaces, which happens when skin rubs against the skin.
The neck, upper chest, underarms, breasts, groin, and eyelids are common places where skin tags appear, but they can show up anywhere on your skin. Most skin tags begin as small, flesh-colored bumps. They can stay small and go unnoticed, get bigger and still not hurt, or get more extensive and hurt when they rub against something or feel pressure.
WHO GETS THE SKIN TAG MOST OFTEN?
We don’t know what causes skin tags, and there’s no way to stop them from showing up. But because skin tags are caused by friction between the skin’s layers, they are more common in people who are overweight or obese.
People with diabetes or high cholesterol are more likely to get skin tags. There may also be more skin tags during pregnancy. Again, it is likely because of changes in hormones in the body. But skin tags do not appear on babies, kids, or young adults.
HOW DOES A PERSON FEEL WHEN THEY HAVE SKIN TAGS?
Usually, skin tags don’t hurt and don’t make you feel bad. But sometimes they can get hurt when clothes or jewelry rub against them. Also, the weather in Singapore is hot and sticky, which doesn’t help. When it’s hot and humid outside, skin tends to get oily and clammy. We also sweat a lot, but the humidity in the air keeps the sweat from evaporating. So it makes the skin tag problem worse. Most of the time, skin tags cause issues because they look bad and make you self-conscious about your appearance.
Skin tags can make you look different.
When we are young, the skin on our faces and bodies looks firm and feels smooth. But people often think of people with skin tags as “old” or “aged.” It is because skin tags don’t grow on people younger than 40. It also doesn’t help when other people say hurtful things, like that you have bad skin or that you should eat less meat or sugar. All the tips were good, but none were about skin tags.
HOW TO REMOVE SKIN TAGS IN SINGAPORE?
Most skin tags are harmless and won’t hurt you, so there’s no need to do anything about them. But skin tags sometimes bleed, change colour, or become itchy. If they bother you because of how they make you look, you can do one or more of the following things.
How to remove skin tags at home?
Small skin tags can be cut off at home, but you should first talk to a doctor before doing this. As skin tags are connected by tiny blood vessels, removing them yourself can be painful and lead to bleeding, infection, and scarring.
Singaporeans can use home remedies and over-the-counter products to eliminate skin tags.
People say toothpaste, tea tree oil, and apple cider vinegar can be used at home to eliminate skin tags. They work by drying the skin tag, which causes it to shrink and fall off over time. Most over-the-counter products are freezing kits that use cryotherapy and liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag, which makes it fall off in 7–10 days. But these solutions usually take a long time or don’t work. We have seen many “surrender cases” come to our salon.
Skin tags can be removed by medicine or surgery.
The best way to get rid of skin tags in Singapore is at an aesthetic clinic or a beauty salon. Professionals have several ways to get rid of skin tags:
Excision: Your doctor will use a scalpel or scissors to cut off the skin tag, causing little to no pain. If the skin tag is huge, local anaesthesia might be used. You can go to a doctor you trust for that.
Medical Laser: Aesthetic doctors cut and burn off skin tags with a fractional laser. It would be the most expensive option, costing at least a few hundred dollars for the doctor’s visit and laser services.
Cryosurgery: The skin tag is frozen by spraying it with liquid nitrogen. A small blister may be left behind, but it will heal in a few days. It is a non-invasive method that is especially helpful for people with bleeding problems or who take medicines that thin the blood.
Cauterisation: An electric probe is used to burn and seal the skin tag. This method is just as good as lasers for cleaning skin tags. Moles, warts, and milia seeds can also be removed with cauterisation.
What does Casa Beauty-Tampines do to remove skin tags?
First, we clean the hurt area very well.
If the skin tags are on the face, we suggest the client do an exfoliating peel first. That will help the topical anaesthetic work better and make the treatment much more comfortable.
2: The area will be numbed with cream for 20 minutes.
3: Using an electric probe, skin tags can be removed quickly and painlessly.
4: When washing your face at the end of the first day, you might feel like you’re being stung. After a few days, scabs will form and then fall off.
5: Don’t touch the area that has been treated, and keep it clean.
HOW MUCH DOES REMOVING A SKIN TAG COST?
The price will depend on which method you choose, but most treatments at an aesthetic clinic will cost between $250 and $500. The least expensive way to get rid of small skin tags would be to go to your trusted beauty salon, where they can be cut off for a small fee. Prices start at $10 and go up depending on how big and how many skin tags need to be removed. We could give you a price quote with no hidden costs. Moles, warts, and milia seeds can also be removed with cauterisation.
Skin tags are harmless flaps of skin and fat that don’t hurt and usually don’t need to be handled. But if they bother you about your appearance, you should go to Casa Beauty-Tampines. We have been getting rid of skin tags in Singapore for over 20 years. Casa Beauty-Tampines has a proven track record of safely removing skin tags and small skin growths with no downtime. Amazingly, even tourists and travellers go to Tampines to remove skin tags by them.
I recommend you make an appointment ahead of time, as they are always heavily booked for skin tag removal. It is not a usual sight to see clients sitting outside the salon, like at a clinic, waiting for treatment. However, at Casa Beauty-Tampines, that is what happens when clients walk in without an appointment.
