Pigmentation & growths

Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, soft, harmless growths that hang from the skin, common in folds like the neck and underarms. Dr. Maharania can confirm the diagnosis and advise you, with referral if you want one removed.

Symptoms & signs

Signs of Skin Tags can vary from person to person. Common ones include:

Small soft flesh-coloured growths
Hang on a thin stalk
Common on neck, underarms, eyelids
Painless unless rubbed or twisted

When to see a dermatologist

The problem is spreading, worsening, or not improving with home care.
It is painful, itchy, bleeding, or affecting your sleep or confidence.
Over-the-counter creams have not helped after about two weeks.

Treatment approach

Skin tags are harmless. Dr. Maharania confirms the diagnosis and checks for friction, weight, diabetes or other clues when relevant. If a tag catches on clothing or you want removal, he can advise referral options.

What to expect

Assessment

Dr. Maharania examines the affected area and asks about your history, triggers and any treatments you've already tried.

Diagnosis

A clear explanation of what it most likely is, what warning signs matter, and whether referral is needed.

Next step

Observation, medicines where appropriate, or referral guidance if a procedure or specialist care is needed.

Follow-up

Follow-up only when needed, with WhatsApp available for appointment help and practical guidance.

Frequently asked questions

Are skin tags dangerous?

Usually no. Skin tags are harmless growths. They need assessment if they bleed, change quickly, become painful, or look unlike a usual skin tag.

Can WhatsApp help before I visit?

WhatsApp can help with appointment booking and basic guidance, but most patients are best assessed in person at the clinic.

Can skin tags be removed at the clinic?

No. The clinic does examination and medicines only. If you want a skin tag removed, Dr. Maharania can advise referral options.
