Skin Tag Removal at Plum Health DPC

Skin tag on the bra line - ouch! And irritating ๐Ÿ˜ 

Many women have skin tags along the bra line and many men have skin tags on the belt line that get irritated ๐Ÿ˜ค when taking off and putting on clothing

Sometimes they can bleed ๐Ÿฉธ and sometimes they can be painful. Overall, itโ€™s just a nuisance.

At our Plum Health clinic, removing skin tags like this takes less than 20 minutes. โฐ

We use a a small amount of lidocaine with epinephrine to numb the area and limit bleeding ๐Ÿ’‰ and then we use a dermablade to remove the lesion

That skin tag is then sent to pathology to rule out cancer - this tissue was found to be benign, a seborrheic keratosis ๐Ÿ”ฌ

Pathology costs are $75 per sample and sometimes covered by insurance. ๐Ÿ’ต

If youโ€™re living with an annoying skin tag, schedule an appointment with us this week to get it removed ๐Ÿ’ฏ
