Remove the irritation, keep the skin looking clean
Skin tags are small, soft growths that don’t hurt and often show up in places where there is a lot of friction. For years, many people ignore them. But when a tag starts to catch on jewelry, rub against clothes, bleed after shaving, or sit in a visible spot, getting rid of it becomes less about “beauty” and more about comfort.
The process at Mayam Aesthetic is meant to be simple. First, the area is checked to make sure it is a skin tag, and then the best way to get rid of it is chosen for that spot. Then, you are shown how to take care of your skin so that it heals cleanly and settles as neatly as possible.
The friction factor: why they appear where they do
Skin tags tend to show up where skin folds or repeated rubbing happen. The neck, underarms, eyelids, under the bust line, and groin are common. In these areas, tiny daily irritation adds up, and tags can slowly develop over time. Some people also notice more tags after weight changes, during pregnancy, or as skin becomes looser with time.
A quick check first: make sure it is not something else
A tag can look like other skin growths, especially when it is small or in a sensitive area. A short assessment is the safest way to start to make sure you know what it is. If a growth is changing quickly, looks strange, hurts, or bleeds without obvious rubbing, you shouldn’t try to diagnose it yourself.
This is why Mayam Aestetic always looks at the lesion first. Correct identification keeps you from using the wrong method and getting scars that aren’t necessary.
Picking the right method: tiny tag vs stubborn tag
Skin tag removal is not one technique for all. The method depends on three things: size, base width, and location.
Snip removal for stalked tags
When a tag is clearly raised on a thin stalk, a quick sterile removal can be the most direct route. A numbing option may be used depending on the site and your sensitivity.
Freezing for selected small tags
For smaller tags, controlled freezing can work well. In some cases, freezing creates a small blister or scab, then the tissue separates naturally as the area heals.
Heat-based removal for precision
For tags that need controlled removal and tidy sealing, a heat-based method may be chosen. This approach can be useful in areas that bleed easily or rub frequently.
At Mayam Aestetic, the focus is always the same: remove the tag while disturbing as little surrounding skin as possible.
The first days after: what is normal and what is not
A little redness, tenderness, or a small scab are all normal. A blister can form if you freeze it. The most important thing is to let the skin settle on its own. Don’t pick at, rub, or try to lift a scab too soon.
If you see redness, warmth, discharge, fever, or pain that gets worse instead of better, you should call the team right away.
Keeping the mark discreet: colour changes and scarring
Any skin procedure can leave a small mark, but this is more likely to happen in areas that rub or in people who are prone to changes in pigmentation. Some people may see a temporary darkening where the tag was taken off, and this can take a while to go away.
If the area is exposed, it’s important to protect it from the sun because UV rays can make color changes more noticeable while the skin is healing.
Why home removal is the wrong shortcut
Using wart chemicals on a “tag,” cutting it at home, or tying off tags can all cause infection, uncontrolled bleeding, or a scar that is more obvious. Another risk is simply mistaking the type of growth: using an at-home method on the wrong type of growth can delay getting the right care.
If the tag is bothering you, it’s safer and cleaner to have it taken off in a medical setting.
The outcome most people want
Most patients don’t want a big change. They want the snagging to stop, the irritation to go away, and the skin to look better. Mayam Aestetic can safely remove skin tags and give you advice on how to care for your skin afterward so that it looks calm and well-managed, with a natural finish.
