Legacy Dermatology Expertise in Safe, Painless Skin Tag Removal

Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are small, benign growths of flesh-colored tissue that protrude from the skin via a narrow stalk. Commonly appearing in areas of friction such as the neck, armpits, groin, under the breasts, and back, they may irritate the skin, snag on clothing or jewelry, or pose cosmetic concerns. Affecting approximately 46% of the population, skin tags are particularly prevalent in individuals with diabetes, those who are overweight, and pregnant women.

Legacy Dermatology combines precision diagnostics, advanced treatment technology, and patient-focused care to provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive removal. Our team assesses each tag’s size, location, and sensitivity to select the most suitable procedure: scalpel excision, cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, or electrosurgery for controlled ablation. Each method prioritizes patient comfort, safety, and cosmetic outcomes, ensuring rapid recovery and minimal scarring.

While skin tags are medically harmless, untreated tags may become inflamed, irritated, or infected, making removal advantageous beyond aesthetics. Our comprehensive approach also includes evaluating skin health, preventing post-procedural complications, and offering guidance to reduce recurrence. With decades of experience, Legacy Dermatology is uniquely positioned to deliver results that are scientifically advanced, safe, and patient-centered.
