What are Skin tags?
Skin tags are small, harmless growths that form when the skin rubs against itself, jewelry, or clothes. They may be the same color as your skin or darker in color. Sometimes, these mini outgrowths can turn red when irritated. Skin tags usually appear on
- Neck
- Underarms
- Eyelids
- Under the breasts
- Groin area
- Areas where skin folds or clothing rubs against the skin.
Many people believe that skin tags are a sign of skin cancer. But this isn’t true! Skin tags are harmless and not a sign of cancerous growth in your body. However, other skin growths similar to skin tags might be cancerous, so it’s better to have them checked by healthcare providers.

How are Skin Tags Removed at Family Urgent Care?
If your skin tag is bothering you, visit our skin tag removal clinic for safe removal . Here is what you can expect during your visit at Family Urgent Care.
- We first examine the skin tag to confirm that it’s a skin tag, not a mole or other lesion and determine whether removal is appropriate.
- Your provider will recommend and explain the most appropriate removal method based on size, location, or signs of discomfort. Common methods at our clinic include cryotherapy, which freezes the skin tag, or surgical excision, which involves carefully cutting it off with sterile equipment.
- During removal, we apply a local anesthetic to numb the area. You may notice a brief sting or pinch during the process.
- At last, you’ll receive instructions on how to care for the treated area while it heals and what changes to watch for.
- Some skin tags might be more stubborn and require a dermatologist for safe removal. Therefore, you might be referred to a skin specialist if further evaluation is required.
The whole procedure takes about 15 to 30 minutes and is completed in a single visit. If you are looking to get multiple tags removed, take a prior appointment to save yourself the time and hassle.
FAQS
Insurance coverage varies. If a skin tag is removed for cosmetic reasons, your insurance may not cover the procedure. Removal may be covered in some cases when the skin tag is causing irritation, bleeding, or another medical concern.

Whether you have a skin tag under the armpit, neck, trunk, or a hanging skin tag, you can simply walk-in to our clinic and get it removed without long waits.

Urgent care can be a convenient option for evaluating and removing straightforward skin tags, especially if they are irritated or bothering you. A dermatologist may be more appropriate for unusual-looking growths, recurring concerns, or lesions that need specialized evaluation.
It’s best not to cut, burn, tie off, or otherwise remove a skin tag yourself. DIY removal can cause bleeding, infection, scarring, incomplete removal, and skin injury. At Family Urgent Care, our healthcare providers first make sure the growth is actually a skin tag and remove it with clinical expertise in a sterile setting to avoid complications.
There are products marketed for at-home skin tag removal, but they can irritate or damage surrounding skin if used incorrectly. Because other skin growths can resemble skin tags, getting the growth evaluated before attempting removal is the safer approach.
Skin tag removal at Family Urgent Care is typically quick, with minimal discomfort for most patients. You may notice a slight sting during the procedure, depending on the removal method and location of the skin tag. Our healthcare providers use appropriate numbing measures when needed to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Healing time varies depending on the removal method and size of the skin tag. However, professional removal usually takes 7-14 days to heal if you follow aftercare instructions given by your provider properly. The area may be mildly sore, red, or scabbed while it heals.
A removed skin tag usually does not grow back in the exact same spot. However, removing one skin tag does not prevent new skin tags if you are prone to developing them, so you may notice additional ones over time.
See a healthcare provider if a skin tag suddenly changes in size, shape, or color, becomes painful, bleeds repeatedly, or does not look like a typical skin tag. It’s also worth getting checked if you are unsure whether the growth is actually a skin tag or something else.
