Up until recently, surgical excision (and stitching) along with cryotherapy (freezing) were the only techniques available for removing localised skin lesions in a GP setting. You would however need to abstain from anything that rubs the skin until this happens.Įither way, go along and have a word with your GP who I'm sure will reassure you and take all embarrassment out of the situation.At Medaesthetics, we specialise in scarless, cosmetic mole removal using State-of-the-art dermatological Lasers. They are easily removed under local anaesthetic by diathermy and the local anaesthetic can even be given in the form of EMLA cream without the need for any injection.Īnother method your GP can show you how to use is simply tying a cotton around the base of the skin tag to cut off its tiny blood supply so that the skin tag will simply fall off within a few days without any further need for treatment. On the penile shaft and around the scrotum, they can easily become irritated, chafed or infected through the mechanical movement during lovemaking, or simply because the groin is a moist area where the skin can be extra sensitive and tender.īut the skin in the groin area is just like the skin anywhere else and there is no reason whatsoever why you should feel embarrassed about these skin tags. They tend to develop in areas where the skin is not under tension, and therefore the areas where you have noticed them are particularly prone to them.
They are tiny finger-like projections, which arise from the skin as you get older.
These skin tags are totally benign, but quite common, I'm afraid. I am too embarrassed to go to my GP about this – is there something I can do to get rid of them? Answer I am quite worried about this – not only does it look unattractive, but it feels uncomfortable. However, more recently I have noticed skin tags growing on my penis and around my scrotum area. I am not too worried about these as my mum has the same on her neck. Recently I have noticed a number of 'skin tags' developing on my neck.
