skin tag

Skin tags are a common occurrence, with more than half of all people in New York City and around the world affected by at least one at some point during their lives. They’re more common in adults, although toddlers are also prone to getting them, too. Obesity can be a factor in the development of skin tags, but they can happen to anyone, regardless of age, weight or sex.
Skin tags are almost always harmless, but there are valid reasons for people to talk to a New York dermatologist about removing skin tags. The reasons can be as simple as cosmetic or as serious as a life-threatening condition.
All symptoms, potential procedural/surgical options should always be discussed with your physician after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
